Our approach
Therapy sessions focus on supporting children with activities of daily living skills in their natural environments. Parent involvement is central to the approach—families are encouraged to participate in sessions because they know their child best and can provide valuable insight. The occupational therapist teaches families practical skills and strategies that can be implemented daily at home, recognising that lasting change comes through consistent support beyond the fortnightly sessions. The service draws on evidence-based training including DIR Floortime, Zones of Regulation, and specialised approaches for autism, sensory processing, executive functioning and dysgraphia. Sessions are delivered in the home, school, kindergarten or community settings across Melbourne's Northern Suburbs.
Working with families
Families are central to the therapy model at Little Big Minds OT. Parents and carers are expected to be present during sessions because they know their child best and provide essential insight into their needs. The therapist teaches families the specific skills and strategies to support their children, with the understanding that meaningful change occurs when these approaches are practised daily at home rather than only during fortnightly therapy visits. The service offers additional family support through telephone consultations, recorded webinars and parent information sessions alongside 1:1 therapy. Families can contact the service at littlebigminds.ot@gmail.com for further information about how the team can support them.
