Paediatrics and Adolescence

Occupational Therapy for Children

Our experienced Occupational Therapists find fun ways to engage children in fundamental development activities such as play, learning and socialising. Our Occupational Therapy for kids addresses challenges in sensory, motor, academic and socio-emotional development for children and adolescents (6 years and older) with a variety of conditions and abilities. We will work closely with you as the parent, carer or guardian to set meaningful goals and create a plan that will help them remove or overcome the barriers they face in daily life.

Speech Pathology for Children

Empowering a child to communicate confidently and effectively can transform their life. Our Speech Pathologists or ‘Speechies’ work with children who have difficulty with speaking, listening, understanding language, reading, writing, stuttering or social skills. We also help children with swallowing, chewing or other feeding milestones. We can prescribe the latest Augmentative and Alternative Communication and assistive technologies where necessary. Our Speechies will help find the best strategies to support a child’s development and meet their needs in communication.

Physiotherapy for Children

Our Physiotherapists recognise that movement provides kids an opportunity to explore and expand their world. Your child might benefit from Physiotherapy if they are experiencing developmental delays, difficulty with motor skills or unusual movement patterns. We are expertly trained to work with children recovering from injury, illness or trauma, and those who have complex pain presentations.

Exercise Physiology for Children

Keeping active is vital for children of all abilities. Our Exercise Physiologists specialise in finding ways to build on the individual strength, fitness and functional capacity of children and teenagers to improve their overall health, wellbeing and development. Our experienced Exercise Physiologists find fun and creative ways to engage kids and support them in reaching their rehabilitation or fitness goals.

Positive Behaviour Support for Children

All behaviour is a form of communication, and our Positive Behaviour Support practitioners are trained to understand what needs a child or teenager is communicating and help them find ways to express them better. With your support and involvement as parent, carer or guardian, we will complete a thorough assessment and develop strategies to encourage positive behaviour and provide a safe environment for your child.
