• Our approach

  Occupational Therapy at ASK Allied Health focuses on practical, holistic support that helps children thrive at home, school and in the community. Sessions work through fine and gross motor skills, sensory regulation strategies, social and emotional skills, and school readiness at a pace that suits your child. The therapists work alongside families to understand goals and achieve them one step at a time, grounding their approach in genuinely helpful, gentle support. Rather than clinical or disconnected practice, the service emphasises honest, real conversations and strategies that fit into actual family life, not just theory.

• Working with families

  Parents and carers are central to the approach. The occupational therapists work alongside you and your family to understand your goals, and the service explicitly supports parents of neurodivergent children, meeting families in the "messy, beautiful, frustrating parts of the journey" without judgment. If you need letters or reports for NDIS reviews or school meetings, the team can provide these based on professional involvement and with your input. Communication is honest, clear and transparent, and sessions are designed to make you feel supported and better equipped rather than alone in the process.

• Meet the team

  The team includes Helen Poulos, who founded ASK Allied Health and brings years of experience in education, counselling and NDIS work, along with occupational therapists and other allied health professionals. Team members include lived experience in their own right, which means they genuinely understand the challenges families face. Reviewers mention staff like Angelique Fokas (counsellor), Zahra Kais (video conference support), and Amy (social worker) as empathetic, knowledgeable and dedicated professionals who are keen to apply their knowledge in practical situations.
