Our approach
Kids Potential OT tailors therapy sessions to each child's specific needs using evidence-based strategies and frameworks, with a special focus on children with autism and ADHD. Sessions emphasize building on the child's strengths and interests to increase independence and confidence in everyday activities. The therapy addresses key areas including self-care routines, play and social development, school skills like handwriting, and emotional regulation. Because the service is mobile, therapy happens in your child's natural environments—home, school, kindy or childcare—to help skills transfer effectively to real-life situations. This collaborative approach involves working closely with you, your child, and education staff to achieve the best outcomes.
Working with families
The provider emphasizes collaboration with parents and carers as a core part of the service, working alongside you to help your child achieve their potential. Assessment and therapy are delivered in partnership, with the goal of building your understanding of strategies that support your child's needs. The mobile approach means you see strategies being implemented in your home environment, making it easier to understand and reinforce them daily. The service also works with education staff to ensure consistent support across home and school settings. If your child can't attend a scheduled session, there's flexibility to reschedule or use the time for parent consultation instead.
