• Our approach

  Evidence-based practice is at the heart of the therapy approach, with a paediatric-focused team dedicated to helping children succeed across occupational therapy, speech pathology, and psychology services. Sessions are delivered by qualified practitioners who work collaboratively with families in beautiful clinic locations across Brisbane, Logan, and the Gold Coast, with flexibility to meet needs through telehealth and mobile appointments. The team emphasizes a multi-disciplinary approach, bringing together specialists under one roof to provide comprehensive support tailored to each child's goals and family circumstances.

• Working with families

  Parents and carers are central to the therapeutic process, with all initial appointments including dedicated parent-only consultations to discuss your child's needs and goals. The team communicates regularly through various channels—phone calls, emails, and reports—keeping families informed of progress and sharing updates about therapy. Regular collaboration between therapists and parents is built into the treatment planning process, and families receive specific resources developed for home use to support their child's progress beyond clinic sessions.

• Meet the team

  The team includes leaders such as Serena Lee (Clinical & Counselling Psychologist and Psychology Lead), Lisa Smith (Senior Speech Pathologist & Team Leader), and Snehal Vaidya (Occupational Therapy Lead), supported by over 50 qualified staff members across speech pathology, occupational therapy, and psychology disciplines. All practitioners are paediatric-focused and certified in their respective fields, with roles ranging from senior and associate senior practitioners to support coordinators. The team is committed to professional development and evidence-based practice, working collaboratively across disciplines to support each child's progress.

• Your first visit

  Initial appointments begin with a parent-only consultation conducted via phone or telehealth, allowing time to understand your child's needs and discuss goals before any face-to-face sessions begin. For NDIS participants, the intake package includes a 50-minute parent consultation plus 60 minutes of non-face-to-face support for treatment planning and developing a support plan with your family. For private and Medicare clients, an initial 30-minute phone consultation is followed by ongoing sessions, with the team taking time to listen, learn about your child, and create a personalized plan for success.
