Individual and group occupational therapy services are available to families. Partnerships with schools are also available to enable schools to provide selected occupational therapy services to students during school hours for a subsidised fee.

Individual Therapy
These sessions are run one on one with a child to reach the child’s goals developed in the initial assessment. Parents are encouraged to attend each session but are not required to. Sessions usually run for 50 mins but shorter sessions are available.

Group Therapy
Groups are run during the school term and holidays by an Occupational Therapist, however, several groups are run with other therapists such as Speech Pathologists, Behavioural Therapists, Psychologists and Occupational Therapy Assistants.
