OT Services for Children and Families
Child Assessments: Southern Highlands & Rural/Remote Regions
Our highly experienced OTs provide thorough, evidence informed assessments, including:
- Functional Capacity Assessments (FCA)
- Developmental, sensory and motor assessments
- Handwriting assessments
- Autism assessments to support diagnosis
- Clinical observations for behaviour support planning
With more than 25 years of experience supporting neurodivergent children and children with complex disabilities, we provide clear findings and practical recommendations for home, school, therapy and NDIS planning.
Parent Consultations – Capacity-Building Sessions
We help parents better understand their child’s needs and develop practical strategies for everyday life.
Sessions may focus on:
- Understanding your child’s development
- Sensory and emotional regulation
- Daily routines and independence
- Motor, play and handwriting skills
- Participation at home, preschool or school
- Identifying suitable supports and next steps
Our advice is personalised, practical and designed to build parents’ confidence and capacity.
Ongoing Therapy
Due to extensive community need, we currently have a waitlist for ongoing paediatric therapy.
While you wait, we may be able to support your family through a child assessment and parent capacity-building sessions. These services can clarify your child’s needs and provide strategies you can begin using straight away.
Please contact Practical OT to discuss the best support for your child and family.
