Our approach
Therapy is delivered through a developmental, sensory integration, and relationship-based approach that prioritises the therapeutic use of self and playfulness as key ingredients for engaging children. Sessions draw on a comprehensive range of evidence-based interventions including Sensory Integration Therapy, DIR®/Floortime®, and many specialised sound and movement therapies. The team values honouring each child's individuality and gifts, looking for their strengths and beauty rather than focusing on challenges. Staff receive ongoing mentoring from international leaders in the field through on-site training and Zoom sessions to maintain cutting-edge practice. The service is committed to supporting each child in showing and being all that they really are.
Meet the team
The team is led by clinical directors Colleen Hacker (MS, OTR with over 35 years' experience in paediatric occupational therapy) and Lynette Burke (OTR/L, trained since 1984). They are supported by a team of experienced paediatric occupational therapists including Leah Saunders, Monika Kamalaneson, Sinead Elliott, Chloe Petterson, Liss Walker, Parvathi Subramaniam, and Joel Zahra. The team receives individual weekly mentoring from the clinical directors and ongoing mentoring from international leaders in the field. Admin staff Ann Thomson and Monika Oates provide support.
Your first visit
To access treatment, families need to call the office to be placed on the wait list for either regular weekly sessions or school holiday intensives. New clients applying for intensive programs must complete the Referral Questionnaire, Sensory History Form, and Risk Management Document, along with having the child's teacher complete the appropriate School Questionnaire. You will also need to provide a copy of your child's current NDIS plan if applicable and a current photo. Once documents are ready, you complete the application when booking opens for your chosen intensive date.
