Our approach
Dandelion OT uses a child-led, play-based approach delivered in your child's natural environments—home, school, kindergarten and community—so they can learn and apply skills where they need them most. Sessions are tailored, practical and fun, with real-world learning happening in the moment rather than in a clinical setting. The therapist works with you to understand your child's goals and what they find tricky, then helps them build confidence and skills through engaging activities. Every child is unique, so the therapy plan is individualised to suit your family's needs and lifestyle. The team aims to make learning easier and faster by supporting your child exactly where they need it.
Working with families
Parents and carers are central to Dandelion OT's approach, with the service offering dedicated parent coaching and support to help you keep being the parent you want to be. The therapist helps you understand how to implement occupational therapy strategies into your child's everyday life and works with you to solve problems as they arise. The service can also provide practical strategies and connections to other supports if caring feels overwhelming. Communication options include phone, telehealth and in-person appointments available during and outside business hours, making it easy to stay connected. Every family's needs are different, and the service is flexible and responsive to what works best for you.
Your first visit
At the first appointment, the occupational therapist will assess your child in fun and engaging ways based on the goals you've discussed. This assessment helps both you and the therapist understand what's happening for your child and what they need to thrive. You'll receive a comprehensive report and an individualised occupational therapy plan that outlines how the service can best support your child to reach their goals. The therapist spends time with you to explain the assessment results and makes sure the therapy plan will work practically for your family. This collaborative approach means you're fully informed and involved from the start.
