"Occupation" is not just our goal- It is also our therapy.
​
Occupational Therapists believe that participation in meaningful activity drives development, confidence and, adds purpose to people's lives. We offer Occupational Therapy to children, teens and their parents .

Our Occupational Therapy Services
1
Extended Occupational Therapy
Some clients require longer periods of occupational therapy due to developmental factors, complex needs or multiple goals. Our longer term programme is dynamic in nature and reflects current research in effective service delivery. Blocks of regular therapy are followed by a consulting service and the option to participate in our OT Assistant programme (depending on availability). All clients have planned therapy breaks during the year to ensure strategies can be maintained in real life.
2
Assessment and Short Term Therapy
This is a SHORT TERM therapy service (5- 8 appointments) which aims to provide practical strategies to help your child meet their participation goals.

"Kindred OT" Programme- Online Occupational Therapy with parents and caregivers
The Kindred OT programme is for parents and caregivers of Neurodivergent Children. Joanna Caton (Occupational Therapist) provides parent-based therapy services designed to support your child's goals. This programme is helpful for caregivers who are keen to put in place effective strategies within the home environment, who are ready to explore alternative parenting approaches, and who can support practical home practice ideas. This programme is available for people who cannot access in- person Occupational Therapy, who are taking a break from clinic appointments or who wish to try something that relates directly to real life. The programme includes an assessment and goal setting phase plus online appointments with parents/caregivers (children can attend too if appropriate) on an agreed-upon frequency. Private paying, NDIS Self Managed and NDIS Plan Managed only.

OT Assistant Programmes
Our Occupational Therapy Assistant programme is designed to offer additional therapy practice within real life settings. Programmes are specifically designed for your child by the occupational therapist and are then carried out by our Occupational Therapy Assistant. Appointments occur where your child spends their time such as at school, preschool, at home or in the park. This programme is part of our Occupational Therapy Support Stream

At times we offer a range of Occupational Therapy groups within our practice. Our groups focus on learning new daily living and self-regulation skills within a social environment. Our groups use an occupation-based approach harnessing play, creativity and nature as therapeutic mediums. At times we also offer parent workshops on Occupational Therapy topics.
