LET’S CHAT
Contact us by phone, email or using our contact form. We can organise a suitable time to have a free no-obligation phone chat. During this chat we can see if our occupational therapy services are right for your child, how occupational therapy might be able to help your child, and answer any questions or concerns you might have.
BOOK IN FOR AN INITIAL APPOINTMENT
If you decide that you would like to proceed with occupational therapy for your child, the next step is to book the first appointment with the paediatric occupational therapist. We believe seeing a child in their environment allows us as occupational therapist to provide practical strategies for your family. We are a mobile occupational therapy service so we come to you and your child, whether that is at home, school, or childcare centre. We will see your child and discuss concerns and potential goals with you and/or your child’s teacher.
DISCUSS FUTURE PLANS
After the first session, we will give you recommendations. Your child may not need further occupational therapy services. However, if your child would benefit from further occupational therapy, our Occupational Therapists will discuss with you as to the best way forward. We take into consideration of your family situation and your child’s needs.
Assessment and Intervention
We don’t want to waste your time and money. Choose what session options work best for you.
