What Eastern helps with

Comprehensive Assessments

A thorough evaluation by a psychologist using standardised tests, interviews and observation to understand a person's cognitive, emotional and behavioural functioning. Results inform diagnosis and guide recommendations for therapy, school adjustments and support services.

Individual or Group Therapy Sessions

One-to-one or group intervention sessions including regulation and social skills groups, coordination groups, school readiness groups, handwriting and fine motor skill groups, aquatic therapy, life skills groups, and pairs/triads focused on interaction.

Intervention in Clinic, School or Home

Ongoing direct intervention, consultation, or monitoring provided in 50-minute sessions using sensory integration, functional training, systematic instruction, environmental modifications, coping strategies, and cognitive training.

School Services

Allied health and therapeutic services delivered directly within a school setting to support students with disability, developmental differences or learning difficulties. This model reduces disruption to schooling and allows therapists to collaborate with teachers in the child's natural learning environment.

Preschool or School Screening Assessments

Free 15-minute screening assessments conducted at preschools or daycares using non-standardised measures to determine if further assessment is needed.

Screening Assessments

Short assessments using non-standardised methods when further information is required or to focus on one specific skill, with a summary report provided.

Aquatic Occupational Therapy

Therapy conducted by qualified Austswim instructors combining AUSTswim principles and sensory integration, typically run as intensive programs during school holidays.

Workshops and Trainings

Small, medium, or large group training programs for parents, caregivers, and professionals including parent education, in-service presentations, mentoring, and supervision.

Psychological Assessments and Intervention

Comprehensive diagnostic testing for intellectual, academic, behavioural, and developmental issues including ADHD, learning disorders, autism, and intellectual disabilities, plus one-on-one intervention for anxiety, mood, behavioural regulation, and ADHD coaching.

Our approach

At this paediatric OT practice, therapy is built on the philosophy that quality, research-based care works best when your family's goals guide the process. Sessions are designed to develop skills from the foundation up, using play as the primary vehicle for learning and growth. The team views you and your family as the knowledge experts about your child, and aims to empower you to understand and support your child's needs. Interventions are tailored specifically to each child and delivered individually or in groups, with flexibility to occur at the clinic, school, or home. The overall approach focuses on building children's capabilities to participate successfully in everyday activities.

Working with families

Your family is positioned as central to the therapeutic process and recognised as the knowledge centre about your child. The philosophy emphasises empowering families to understand and support their child's needs, rather than taking over this role. Communication and partnership appear to be core values, with the practice aiming to ensure families feel equipped to support their child's progress. While specific communication methods are not detailed in the provided text, the strong emphasis on family-centred care suggests regular updates and collaborative goal-setting are part of the service.
