Individual Occupational Therapy
We recognise that every child is different and aim to support them on their own journey.
We provide 1:1 occupational therapy for your child at home, school, kinder or in the community across Melbourne’s inner suburbs.
Therapy is individualised and guided by family-focused goals. Telehealth sessions are also available.
