  • Our approach

    Daisy Chain Kids OT uses a collaborative and comprehensive approach to occupational therapy, tailoring sessions to each child's unique needs. Sessions are delivered either at your home or via telehealth, whichever works best for your family. The therapist works closely with you, early learning services, schools, and other professionals involved in your child's care to ensure consistent support across all settings. This partnership-focused approach means your input and observations about your child are valued as part of the therapy process. Whether your child is working on everyday skills, sensory challenges, or developmental goals, the therapy is individualised and family-centred.

  • Working with families

    Family involvement is central to how Daisy Chain Kids OT works. The therapist is committed to communicating and collaborating closely with parents and carers, viewing you as partners in your child's development. Regular communication helps ensure that strategies and goals are understood and can be reinforced at home and across other settings your child attends. By working together with families, early learning services, schools, and other professionals, the therapist supports a coordinated approach to your child's care. Your observations, priorities, and feedback directly shape how therapy is planned and delivered.
