• Our approach

  Rachael Denington uses a partnership approach, believing that parents are the experts on their children and that meaningful outcomes are achieved through working collaboratively with families. Sessions focus on building on your family's strengths and engaging both you and your child fully in the therapeutic process. The provider works with children across a wide range of needs, including fine motor and handwriting skills, school readiness, social skills, feeding and toileting difficulties, sensory processing, and self-regulation. Whether addressing developmental delays, autism, cerebral palsy, or other diagnoses, the focus is on helping children fulfill their potential in their daily activities and occupations.

• Working with families

  Caring for Kids Occupational Therapy places families at the centre of therapy, based on the belief that parents are the experts on their children. The approach emphasises working in partnership with families to achieve the most meaningful outcomes for children. Sessions are designed to engage both you and your child as fully as possible in the therapeutic process, with an emphasis on building on your family's existing strengths and capabilities.
