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.
