Our approach
At Light, occupational therapy sessions support children, teens, and young adults in building confidence, independence, and meaningful relationships through everyday activities like self-care, learning, play, and social interaction. The therapy approach is neurodiversity affirming, celebrating authenticity and supporting autonomy while fostering genuine inclusion. Sessions are tailored to each young person's individual strengths and challenges, with flexible options available in-clinic, at school, or at home. The focus is on practical, personalised support that helps your child feel confident and understood as they work toward their goals.
Working with families
Family involvement is a key part of Light's approach, with parents and caregivers equipped with practical strategies to support their child's progress. The team communicates with families throughout the therapy process and involves them in creating the personalised plan, ensuring everyone works together toward your child's goals.
Your first visit
At the initial assessment, the Light OT team meets with you and your child to understand their needs and create a personalised plan tailored to your family's situation. This appointment is designed to get to know your child, listen to what matters most to your family, and establish the foundation for therapy. The team takes time to build trust and ensure you feel confident and understood as you begin the journey together.
