What Little helps with

Parent Consultations

Guidance and skill-building for parents and carers to better understand their child's development, manage challenging behaviours and build a warm, secure relationship. Programs may be one-on-one or delivered in groups and draw on evidence-based frameworks tailored to the family's needs.

Functional and Standardised Assessments

Evidence-based assessment of child occupational performance and skills.

Pre-diagnostic Assessment

Assessment and support prior to formal diagnosis.

Regular Therapy Sessions

Ongoing occupational therapy sessions delivered in clinic, community, or via telehealth.

Functional Capacity Assessments and Report Writing

Detailed assessment of functional abilities with comprehensive reporting.

Continence and Toileting Support

Specialised support for continence and toileting skills development.

Social Learning

Therapy targeting social skills and peer interaction.

Self-Care Skills

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.

Play Skills

A therapeutic approach where children express and process emotions, experiences and difficulties through play — their natural language. A play therapist creates a safe space where the child leads and works through challenges at their own pace.

Emotional Regulation and Behaviour

Support for emotional regulation and behavioural management.

School Access and Participation

Support to enable school participation and academic access.

Executive Functioning

Development of planning, organisation, and executive function skills.

Gross 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.

Sensory Processing

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.

Fine Motor Skills

Our approach

Little Legends adopts a holistic and inclusive approach to support children to do the things they want to do, need to do, and should do. The occupational therapists work collaboratively with families to meet their goals, learning from clients to ensure therapy is meaningful and fun. Sessions focus on evidence-based support across a range of occupations and skill areas, including emotional regulation, self-care, play, social learning, and school participation. The therapists bring curiosity, genuine interest in each child's unique needs, and a commitment to helping little legends build confidence to tackle everyday challenges.

Working with families

The therapists work collaboratively with families, valuing their input and learning from clients to ensure therapy is meaningful and tailored to each child's goals. Parent consultations are part of the service offering, alongside functional assessments and regular therapy sessions. The team emphasises working with both little legends and their big legends, incorporating parenting knowledge and family perspectives into practice. Clear communication and partnership are central to how the clinic supports children and their families in achieving their goals.

Meet the team

The clinic is led by two Co-Directors: Kimberley Smith and Rachael May, both paediatric occupational therapists with a combined 25 years of experience supporting children across school and private settings. Kim's passion lies in pre-diagnostic assessment, emotional regulation, behaviour, executive functioning, and education support, and she brings insights from her own parenting journey. Rachael specialises in continence and toileting, self-care skills, assistive technology, and school support, drawing on her experience as a parent. Paige Karolyii, a paediatric occupational therapist, brings enthusiasm and expertise in sensory processing, emotional regulation, fine motor skills, and social skills development.
