What Kidiotherapy helps with

Clinic Based Therapy

Evidence based, goal directed therapy in a fully accessible and equipped clinic in Sutherland, using play and game based activities for children aged 0-18 years.

Aquatic Physiotherapy

Physiotherapy carried out in warm pools (32.5 degrees at Kirrawee on Fridays, 31 degrees at Sutherland Leisure Centre on Mondays) to enable children to move, balance, strengthen and perform functional activities.

Home Visits

Therapy or support delivered in the client's home or community setting rather than in a clinic. This approach allows therapists to work within the real environment where skills need to be applied, which can lead to more practical, lasting outcomes.

Telehealth Sessions

Therapy, assessment and consultation delivered remotely via video call, allowing families to access support from home without the need to travel. Telehealth sessions cover most services including psychology, speech pathology, occupational therapy and counselling.

Supported Playgroup

Fortnightly group-based early intervention sessions (during school term) for children aged 9 months to 4 years with disabilities, provided in conjunction with an Occupational Therapist.

Baby Development Groups

Fortnightly sessions (during school term) for children aged 0-18 months providing tips on positioning, handling, and motor development activities.

Preschool/School Visits

Intermittent visits to educational settings to assist with access, transitions, documentation, and program setup for classroom and playground participation.

Transition Support

Assistance preparing families for transitions to daycare, preschool and school through site visits, reports, meetings and staff support.

Community Participation Support

Support to facilitate children's participation in community-based activities, sports, camps and events with family and peers.

Equipment Prescription

Assessment, recommendation and training in tools, devices or software that help people with disability participate more independently in daily life. This can range from communication apps and adaptive cutlery to wheelchairs and environmental controls.

Orthoses Support

Collaboration with Orthotists and Podiatrists for prescription of lower limb orthoses, body support garments, and assistance with funding applications.

Team Meetings

Collaborative meetings with family, educators, therapists and medical supports conducted on-location, via Zoom/Teams, or through ongoing communication.
