  • Our approach

    PaediaTricks uses a uniquely practical approach that combines thorough assessment with creative, compassionate care. The therapists take time to understand each child's root causes rather than just visible symptoms, which helps them devise specialised programs that maximise potential. Sessions incorporate playfulness and are tailored to the child's needs, whether addressing sensory processing, attention, fine motor skills, or daily living activities. The team works collaboratively with families to ensure therapy strategies are understood and applied at home, making practice fun and achievable. This comprehensive, individualised approach has been refined over more than 20 years of experience working with children across North Queensland.

  • Working with families

    PaediaTricks works through communication and education to foster a partnering approach with parents. By helping you understand the therapeutic principles and strategies being used, you can work together to support your child's development at home. The team shares parenting tips and practical advice, enabling families to get the most out of play, support self-regulation of behaviour, and find solutions for challenges between sessions. This collaborative model ensures parents are equipped to help their child generalise skills across different environments.

  • Meet the team

    PaediaTricks is staffed by highly skilled occupational therapists with more than 20 years of experience working with children. The team has particular expertise in attention and concentration, autism spectrum disorders, sensory processing, handwriting and fine motor skills, play development, and daily living skills including toileting. Each therapist takes time to get to know the children they work with and combines therapeutic knowledge with a creative approach to support learning and development.
