• Our approach

  Exceptional Kids uses evidence-informed occupational therapy tailored to each child's strengths and challenges. The practice believes that families are central to the therapy process and works collaboratively with parents to achieve meaningful goals. Sessions are designed individually for each child, taking their neurodiversity and unique needs into account. The team is passionate about educating families, teachers and other professionals on practical ways to support development and growth both at school and at home. Therapy aims to help children achieve their personal goals and develop a sense of satisfaction in their accomplishments.

• Working with families

  Exceptional Kids is passionate about working collaboratively with families to achieve your goals and celebrate a sense of satisfaction in the outcomes. The practice recognises the family unit as vital in all interactions and interventions, treating all clients and their families with compassion and respect. In addition to individual therapy, the practice offers 1:1 and group sessions for parent education to help families understand and support their child's development. The team believes families are central to the child and emphasises educating parents on practical ways to support development and growth at home.
