Empowering Children Through Playful and Purposeful Occupational Therapy

Our university-trained Occupational Therapists (OTs) use playful, strengths-based therapy that helps children feel capable, confident, and in control. We also help families understand their child’s needs and put strategies in place that make a real difference at home and school.

Our OTs will work with you to understand your child’s strengths and goals, and create a individualised therapy plan that builds towards achieving those goals. We review your child’s progress with you regularly  and can update and change our goals as often as you need.

We work closely with families, teachers, and other professionals to help your child participate the best way that they can.
