  • Our approach

    CommuneOT uses evidence-based occupational therapy guided by family-centred, strength-based, and neurodivergent-affirming principles. Sessions are individualised to each child and family's needs and goals, and may include one-to-one sessions, parent coaching, telehealth, or group sessions. The service is mobile and comes to you in natural environments like home, daycare, schools, parks, or local community spaces, which creates real opportunities for parents and educators to build their capacity alongside the child. By working in these everyday settings, the environment can be adapted to support the child's participation in meaningful occupations—whether that's play, self-care routines, learning, or social activities. Parent and caregiver involvement is essential, with the aim of empowering families to support their child's development.

  • Working with families

    Parent and caregiver involvement is essential to CommuneOT's approach. By seeing children in their natural environments—home, school, daycare, or community spaces—parents, caregivers, educators and teachers have the opportunity to develop their skills and learn alongside the therapist. The service includes parent coaching sessions and aims to empower families to support their child's participation in everyday activities. Communication and collaboration are central, so everyone working with the child can work together effectively.
