Our approach

Early Years Occupational Therapy takes a whole-family approach, recognising that a child's progress is deeply connected to their parents' wellbeing and involvement. Sessions combine play-based occupational therapy for children with family-centred therapy, helping children build important skills for daily life while supporting parents through coaching and practical strategies. The team blends internationally accredited coaching certifications with clinical occupational therapy expertise to create meaningful, lasting therapeutic outcomes. Services are delivered face-to-face at clinic locations in Adelaide and Perth, with visiting services available to surrounding suburbs, as well as telehealth options for families unable to access in-person sessions. This integrated approach empowers families to grow, connect, and thrive together.

Working with families

Family involvement is central to the provider's philosophy. Parents are supported through integrated services including one-on-one coaching and therapy, online workshops and information sessions, and the 'Parents Matter Too' group program, which combines coaching with occupational therapy expertise. The provider recognises that when both children and parents are supported, family-centred therapy brings clarity, perspective, and stronger connections, making parents' wellbeing and participation essential to therapeutic outcomes.
