Our approach

Co-OT takes a holistic, natural and realistic approach tailored to each child's individual needs and goals. Sessions are mobile, delivered in your child's home, school or community environment, and are customised to suit your family's circumstances. The team works on meaningful everyday occupations—from self-care activities like dressing and feeding, to fine and gross motor skills, social participation and community access. Each child is supported to reach their full potential and engage in activities they have passion for, with strategies designed to be practical and achievable within your daily routines.
