OUR PROCESS
How It Works:
You will be booked in with one of our Occupational Therapists to conduct a thorough initial consultation.
This is usually a phone or zoom interview with the client or carer/parent.
If you have a young child, we do not believe it is necessary for them to be present at this time, as it can involve discussions that could negatively impact a child’s confidence and self-esteem.
During the initial consultation, the Occupational Therapist will determine if further assessments are necessary.
Assessments generally take 1.5 hours and involves a series of standardised and non-standardised tests specifically chosen to the individual.
Assessments are important so that we can thoroughly understand the challenges and needs of an individual to ensure their OT sessions are tailored to meet their needs.
It also acts as a benchmark to understand the degree to which your child is struggling in certain areas and to measure their progress throughout their therapy.
Following the assessment a comprehensive report will be written, outlining the goals and a therapy plan with interventions can be designed.
After the initial consultation and assessments have been completed, the OT will have a very strong understanding of what your interests are, your strengths and what motivates you.
We pride ourselves on being strength based and driven by YOU.
At this stage, the OT will work with clients and parents to develop clear Occupational Therapy goals and discuss the therapy plan.
Once the assessment and goal setting phases have been complete, we can get started on the fun part, interventions!
This looks very different from client to client as we love to find innovative ways to empower our clients to achieve goals.
Frequency of OT sessions can depend on clients’ level of funding, level of impairment, importance of goal achievement and the impacts of therapy.
Each individual may prioritise OT differently and we like to be mindful of the other weekly demands on a client and their family (other therapies, siblings, school, work, etc).
Many factors determine how this may look, but the most important thing to us are your interests and strengths. We are driven by YOU and love to find ways to ensure you feel empowered to live a fulfilled and wonderful life.
VALUES DRIVEN
Our Goals
Supporting emotional health and connection
We support the whole person by prioritising emotional well-being, stress management, and social connection.
These areas are central to how individuals function, learn, and engage in daily life.
Through practical strategies, we help individuals understand and manage their emotions, cope with stress, and build meaningful relationships.
By strengthening emotional well-being, we support confidence, resilience, and participation in everyday activities and community life.
Building confidence, choice, and self-direction
We empower individuals to take an active role in their lives by supporting independence and self-autonomy.
This means developing the skills, confidence, and self-advocacy needed to make choices and participate meaningfully in daily activities.
Through collaborative goal setting, skill development, and environmental supports, we help individuals build independence that lasts beyond therapy.
Our approach promotes confidence, dignity, and a sense of control over one’s own life.
Supporting learning, confidence, and life skills
We nurture individual growth by tailoring therapy to each person’s strengths, interests, and goals.
Our focus is on personal development, confidence-building, and learning skills that support everyday life.
By creating opportunities for success and encouraging new challenges, we help individuals grow emotionally, cognitively, and socially, supporting long-term development and meaningful participation.
Strengthening physical skills for everyday function
We support motor skill development through personalised, movement-based interventions that focus on strength, coordination, balance, and motor planning.
Our therapy helps individuals develop the physical skills needed to perform everyday tasks more effectively.
By focusing on functional movement and physical ability, we support greater independence and confidence in daily activities.
Removing barriers and creating access
We create inclusive environments by identifying and reducing barriers that limit participation.
This includes adapting physical spaces, recommending supports, and working with others to improve accessibility.
Our focus is on ensuring individuals can participate fully in home, school, work, and community settings.
By valuing diversity and advocating for inclusion, we help create environments where everyone feels supported and able to belong.
Respecting and supporting sensory differences
We recognise that everyone experiences the world differently.
Sensory-aware support focuses specifically on understanding individual sensory needs and how sensory input affects daily functioning.
Through personalised strategies and environmental adjustments, we help individuals regulate sensory experiences, feel more comfortable, and engage more confidently in everyday activities.
Working together for lasting outcomes
We work closely with families, carers, educators, and community supports to achieve meaningful and lasting outcomes.
Collaboration helps us understand each person’s life beyond therapy and align supports with daily routines.
By sharing knowledge, strategies, and guidance, we empower families and communities to support progress beyond sessions, creating consistency, confidence, and long-term success.
