2. Meet with one of our occupational therapists for an assessment.

Our Melbourne team will meet with you and your child to identify their individual needs and outline specific strategies and goals for their development.

3. We’ll develop a therapy plan that meets your child’s needs.

We incorporate play and fun activities to encourage your child’s engagement in therapy, as well as incorporating practical tools and strategies that you and your child can continue practicing at home. Our occupational therapists work collaboratively with our psychologists and speech therapists if these are also areas where your child requires support. Sessions will be family centred and focus on your child’s individual needs. Often an assessment is conducted prior to commencing therapy to ascertain the areas where your child requires the most support and to develop a targeted intervention plan.
