Silver Porcupine Occupational Therapy Services

A first appointment with a therapist or health professional to discuss concerns, gather background information, set goals and determine the most appropriate assessment or treatment pathway. It is the starting point for any new therapeutic relationship.

A thorough evaluation by a psychologist using standardised tests, interviews and observation to understand a person's cognitive, emotional and behavioural functioning. Results inform diagnosis and guide recommendations for therapy, school adjustments and support services.

One-on-one therapy tailored to an individual's specific goals and needs. Delivered by a qualified therapist, individual sessions provide a private, focused space to work through personal challenges at a pace that suits the person.

Therapy or support delivered in the client's home or community setting rather than in a clinic. This approach allows therapists to work within the real environment where skills need to be applied, which can lead to more practical, lasting outcomes.

Therapy delivered to small groups of children or adults with similar goals, allowing participants to practise skills, build connections and learn from shared experiences. Groups are facilitated by a qualified therapist and can cover areas such as social skills, emotional regulation or anxiety management.

Allied health and therapeutic services delivered directly within a school setting to support students with disability, developmental differences or learning difficulties. This model reduces disruption to schooling and allows therapists to collaborate with teachers in the child's natural learning environment.

Screening assessments conducted at schools.

Therapy, assessment and consultation delivered remotely via video call, allowing families to access support from home without the need to travel. Telehealth sessions cover most services including psychology, speech pathology, occupational therapy and counselling.

Professional development, skill-building or information sessions delivered to groups of parents, carers, educators or practitioners. Workshops cover topics such as behaviour support, communication strategies, sensory processing and mental health.
