Our one-on-one occupational therapy sessions are tailored to address the specific goals of each child.

From sensory integration exercises to fine motor skill activities, our sessions are designed to promote skill development while fostering independence and confidence.
While the majority of our sessions are conducted at our welcoming clinic in Frenchs Forest, where children have access to our extensive resources and awesome sensory gym, we understand the importance of flexibility for busy families. Therefore, we also offer the option of mobile occupational therapy & mobile speech therapy, arranging sessions at your child’s home, school, or daycare. Regardless of the location, our primary goal remains the same: to ensure that your child receives the best possible care and support to thrive in their developmental journey.
Our journey with your child begins with an Initial Parent Consultation, during which we collaborate with you to gain insights into your child’s unique needs and aspirations. This consultation allows our occupational therapists to delve into your child’s background information and work with you to identify key areas of focus. Following the consultation, our therapists provide a detailed summary outlining therapy goals, recommendations, and additional resources to support your child’s progress.
Building upon the insights gleaned from the Initial Parent Consultation, our therapy sessions focus on implementing personalised intervention plans tailored to your child’s specific needs. Our therapists employ a diverse array of engaging activities aimed at promoting skill development and fostering independence. Whether it’s sensory integration exercises, fine motor skill and gross motor skill activities, or social and emotional development exercises, our therapy sessions are designed to address developmental challenges in a fun and engaging manner.
Our sensory gym serves as a dynamic environment for therapeutic activities. Equipped with a wide range of sensory equipment, including slides, rock climbing walls, swings, and a ball pit, our sensory gym offers endless opportunities for exploration and stimulation. Each piece of equipment is carefully selected to provide sensory input and promote motor skill development in a safe and supportive setting.
In addition to individual therapy sessions, we offer specialised group sessions aimed at fostering social skills, feeding, and handwriting. These group sessions provide valuable opportunities for children to interact with peers while honing specific skills in a supportive environment. Furthermore, during school holidays, we offer school holiday intensive therapy blocks, allowing for concentrated therapy sessions aimed at maximising progress over a shorter duration.
Our comprehensive assessments offer valuable insights into your child’s abilities and challenges, guiding our therapy approach and ensuring personalised care. We provide a holistic approach to these assessments in order to assist you with various needs, including educational supports, funding applications, and access to government schemes. Our therapists combine standardised and non-standardised tests to provide a comprehensive understanding of your child’s strengths and areas for growth.
