Our approach
At TOTS, sessions focus on helping your child engage and participate in everyday activities to reach their best potential. The occupational therapists work with children across a wide range of skills—from daily living activities like dressing and eating, to motor skills, play, school skills, and emotional management. Sessions are conducted mainly in the clinic, but home, school and kindy visits are also available depending on your child's needs. The practice takes a family-centered approach, aiming not just to support your child but to equip parents and caregivers with skills to support their ongoing growth and achievements.
Working with families
TOTS operates as a family-centered practice with a strong commitment to involving parents and caregivers in their child's therapy journey. One of the core goals is to equip parents and caregivers with the skills needed to support their child's ongoing growth and achievements beyond the therapy sessions. The service values collegiality and commitment to working together with families to achieve personalized and meaningful goals.
Your first visit
The first appointment is an initial assessment where the occupational therapist will explore your child's strengths and the areas where they face difficulties in their everyday activities. During this session, the therapist will work with you to understand your child's needs and create individual goals tailored to your family's priorities. This assessment forms the foundation for any ongoing support and helps determine the best way forward for your child's development.
