• Our approach

  At D.O.T.S., each child's therapy is tailored to suit their individual needs in a comfortable and safe environment, delivered through individual and small group sessions. The team takes time to understand each child and family's strengths, values and goals, then works closely with parents and teachers to provide practical strategies that can be easily incorporated into everyday home and school life. Sessions support children across a range of skill areas including fine and gross motor development, play skills, self-care skills, and school programs. Telehealth services are also available for families who prefer this option or live further from the clinics.

• Working with families

  D.O.T.S. aims to include the key people in your child's life as part of their support, which can include parents, teachers, siblings, psychologists, speech pathologists, and other professionals involved in your child's care. The team works closely with parents and teachers to provide practical strategies that can be easily incorporated into everyday home and school life. D.O.T.S. also connects with other local service providers and values building a collaborative team around your child.
