  • Our approach

    Little Seedlings OT takes a family-centred approach, working together with your family to set goals that are meaningful to you. Each child is seen as having their own unique strengths and interests, which are harnessed to motivate and engage them towards their goals. The practice recognises that every child's needs are different, and occupational therapy is tailored to the individual to allow them to develop and grow. Sessions focus on helping children and young adults become independent in their daily activities at school, at home and in the community. Collaboration with other professionals in your child's team, such as paediatricians, teachers and speech therapists, is encouraged to support the best outcomes.
