About Bumble Bea Occupational Therapy

Bumble Bea Occupational Therapy is a neuro-affirming, strengths-based practice specialising in supporting neurodivergent children aged 2-12 years, including autistic children, ADHDers, and children with intellectual disabilities. They provide therapy primarily through outreach visits in children's natural environments (home, school, childcare, kindergarten) with limited clinic-based sessions, operating from a philosophy that emotional safety comes first and children should feel seen, heard, and supported through play without pressure to perform.

  • Our approach

    At Bumble Bea Occupational Therapy, sessions are built on a foundation of emotional safety and connection. The therapist listens first and moves at your child's pace, with no pressure to perform, no rushing, and no forcing. Sessions use play as a therapeutic tool within your child's natural environments—their home, school, childcare, or kindergarten—so learning happens where it matters most. The approach is neuro-affirming and strengths-based, honouring each child's unique differences and building confidence through meaningful, everyday participation. Every child is welcomed exactly as they are, and progress happens in a way that feels safe and empowering.

  • Working with families

    Parents and carers are active partners in the therapeutic process at Bumble Bea Occupational Therapy. The provider works as a team with families to set meaningful goals and offers parent and caregiver coaching as part of their services. The therapist listens to your family's priorities and ensures goals are relevant to everyday life, keeping families informed and involved throughout their child's progress.
