Everyday concerns
Practical support for play, school, development and everyday life. If any of these sound familiar, share what you are seeing and the team will confirm whether kids OT fits.
Support when play feels tricky, your child is excluded by peers or joining group play takes a lot of effort.
Practical help when meltdowns take a long time to resolve, sibling conflict grows, or families avoid activities because behaviour feels hard to manage.
Strategies when a child is easily distracted, falling behind, or finding it hard to join classroom routines.
Support with mornings, school bags, planning steps and day-to-day organisation.
Talk with the team if you have developmental concerns about play, movement, self-care, routines or participation.
No referral is needed to ask. A GP Chronic Condition Management Plan is one possible referral pathway for some families, not a requirement for every enquiry.
Who this is for
We confirm whether it is the right service, which funding may apply, where sessions can happen, and what to do next.
Tell us what you are seeing with your child and the team confirms whether OT is the right starting point.
