We have therapy spaces in Bella Vista and Castle Hill. We also offer mobile therapy in homes and preschools across the Hills District and Northwest Sydney, and telehealth across Australia.
Our intensive therapy blocks offer a burst of focused therapy over a short period, helping kids make big leaps in their development. These sessions can be a great way to kickstart progress or refine specific skills.
Intensive blocks may be in the form of a CME/DMI intensive (daily sessions across 2 weeks), a CIMT intensive for hand function, or if your child needs a boost with their social skills, we may run a peer intensive.
Most children attend weekly or twice weekly. Programs are tailored towards your child’s needs, their goals and your preferences. Weekly sessions may turn into a holiday intensive focusing on peer skills and socialisation, then return to weekly sessions.
Yes. Families in regional or remote areas can receive their OT support entirely through telehealth, using a parent coaching model.
