Is your child finding everyday tasks like writing, eating, getting dressed, or keeping up at school more challenging than they should be? You’re not alone. Many Northern Beaches families face these concerns when their child has developmental delays, sensory processing differences, or other learning needs.
At LEAP Centre in Frenchs Forest, our warm and highly skilled paediatric occupational therapists help children aged 1–18+ overcome challenges through play-based, engaging therapy that builds essential skills while keeping sessions fun and motivating.
We offer therapy in our welcoming clinic or through mobile visits across Manly, Dee Why, Warriewood, Brookvale, Chatswood, Mosman, and surrounding suburbs on the Northern Beaches and Lower North Shore. We accept NDIS funding and work with private health insurance to make therapy accessible for your family.
With over 15 years of supporting Northern Beaches children and families, we know what works — and we’re passionate about helping each child reach their full potential through our comprehensive occupational therapy services.

Parents may wonder if their child could benefit from occupational therapy. Some signs to look out for include difficulties with fine motor skills, picky eating behaviours, challenges with sensory processing, struggles with attention and concentration, delays in achieving developmental milestones, or difficulties with self-care tasks. If you observe any of these signs, we encourage you to schedule a consultation with one of our experienced therapists.
