How we can help

Occupational Therapy Early Intervention

Occupational Therapy intervention may be just a short-term burst of therapy or an ongoing process to build skills and allow your child to gain the confidence they need to maximise their potential and reach their goals.

Close work with the child’s parents, therapists and preschool teachers is essential to ensure that the child’s needs are being met at home, preschool and in the community.

Quickstepz Therapy Sessions can be provided as:

  • Regular therapy, on a regular weekly or twice-weekly basis
  • Intensive therapy involving daily sessions across two weeks, repeated every three months.
