  • Navigating sensory environments and experiences

  • Completing the morning routine and self-care tasks

  • Working towards obtaining a learner permit

Our Occupational Therapy services support neurodivergent young people to navigate everyday life with greater confidence and independence. Rather than a one-size-fits-all approach, we tailor support to each individual, adjusting environments, breaking down tasks, and creating strategies that actually work in real life. Our therapists take a neuro-affirming approach that recognises and respecting each young person’s unique way of thinking, learning, and experiencing the world.

In addition to sessions, our OTs also provide the following services: 

  • Functional Capacity Assessments 

  • Sensory Assessments 

  • Handwriting Assessments for year 12 Special Exam Arrangements 

  • NDIS progress reports 

  • Supporting letters for NDIS, schools and workplaces
