Melbourne Paediatric Occupational Therapy, Speech Pathology, Creative Art and School Readiness Program for Children with developmental delays and disabilities

Promote functional independence and participation in everyday activities such as fine motor skills, sensory processing, and self-care abilities.

Therapists work with children to develop skills in areas such as articulation, vocabulary, grammar, comprehension, and social communication.

Supports children to express their thoughts, feelings, and experiences through art, play, and creative exploration. Using a safe and nurturing approach, children are guided to build emotional awareness, regulation, and confidence through activities such as drawing, painting, and sensory-based play.

Our Key Worker is a central point of support for children and their families. They work closely with parents and caregivers to understand the child’s strengths, needs, and everyday routines, then coordinate therapy supports across disciplines such as speech and occupational therapy. Using a family-centred and strengths-based approach, the key worker helps build practical strategies into daily life, supports goal setting (often aligned with NDIS plans), and ensures consistent, collaborative care that promotes the child’s development, participation, and independence.

Our School Readiness Program supports children aged 3–5 to build the skills they need for a confident transition into school through play-based. Designed for children with developmental delays, autism or additional needs, the program focuses on communication, social interaction, emotional regulation, fine motor skills, and independence through engaging art and play activities.
