What Lauren helps with

School Readiness

Programs and assessments that prepare children for the transition to school by building the social, emotional, language and self-care skills needed to participate fully in a classroom environment. Often delivered by early childhood educators, occupational therapists and speech pathologists.

Handwriting

Assessment and therapy for children who struggle with forming letters, maintaining pace or producing legible written work. Delivered by an occupational therapist, it addresses fine motor skills, pencil grip, visual-motor integration and the physical act of writing.

Fine Motor Skills

Assessment and therapy targeting the development of physical movement skills — gross motor skills (running, jumping, balance) and fine motor skills (handwriting, cutting, fastening). Delivered by occupational therapists or physiotherapists to help children meet developmental milestones.

Gross Motor Skills

Social/Friendship and Play Skills

Therapy to develop social interaction, friendship building, and play engagement.

Milestone Delays

Support for children experiencing developmental delays in reaching age-appropriate milestones.

Sensory Processing Support

An evaluation of how a person processes sensory information — such as touch, sound, movement and taste — and how this affects their behaviour and daily functioning. Carried out by an occupational therapist, the results guide strategies to help the individual feel regulated and comfortable in their environment.

Emotional Regulation

Therapy and skill-building that helps children and adults recognise, understand and manage their emotions in healthy ways. Strategies are embedded into daily routines and environments, helping individuals respond to challenges without becoming overwhelmed.

Mealtime Challenges/Feeding Concerns

Therapy for feeding difficulties, picky eating, and mealtime participation.

Self-Care Skills

Our approach

Each therapy program is tailored to meet the specific goals and challenges of every child, with sessions designed to be fun and engaging by connecting activities to each child's strengths and interests. The therapists use evidence-based practices and therapeutic strategies to support children with a wide range of conditions including autism spectrum disorder, sensory processing issues, developmental delays, and ADHD. The approach focuses on maximising each child's participation in everyday activities and improving their health, wellbeing, and independence. Sessions work with both child and family to create a comprehensive plan that fosters growth and achievement across areas like fine motor skills, sensory processing, and social development.

Working with families

The therapist works closely with families and schools to create a comprehensive plan that supports each child's goals and challenges. The approach is centred on maximising participation through support provided to both child and family, and therapy is tailored in collaboration with families to foster growth and achievement in everyday activities.
