How does therapy work?

Our therapy services are provided using an outreach model, which means providing therapy in the child or young person's home, school or kindergarten environment. We find that this approach makes children feel more at ease, and supports them to transfer the skills that they have learnt in therapy to the home or classroom environment. It also provides a simple way to keep parents and teachers up to date with their child's progress. This is a great way to provide practical strategies that can be implemented in the classroom and at home to support each child's therapy. For older children and teens, tele-health or a combination of face-to-face and tele-health services can be an effective way to engage in therapy.

We are able to support the development of skills in the following areas:

• Self-regulation: the ability to regulate emotional responses to day-to-day challenges.

• Anxiety management.

• Self-esteem and confidence.

• Social skills and making friends.

• Handwriting and motor skill development.

• Self-care tasks: dressing, eating, getting ready for school, etc.

• Self-organisation and time management.

• Parent support and coaching.
