Some children may need additional support to engage in shared play, explore different ways of playing or communicate their ideas with others.
Our therapists use child-led, play-based approaches that build on your child’s interests, strengths and preferred ways of playing.
Support may include child-led play, movement games, construction activities, sensory play, imaginative play and shared games. Therapists follow your child’s interests and gradually introduce new ideas, communication opportunities and ways to connect with others.

When a suitable space becomes available, we will offer your family a place with an Early Intervention Specialist who will become your keyworker and main point of contact.
Your keyworker will meet with your family for a goal setting session. Relevant assessments may also be completed to help us understand your child’s strengths, support needs and everyday participation.
Your keyworker will meet with the wider therapy team to discuss your child’s needs and draw on expertise from occupational therapy, speech pathology, developmental education and psychosocial practice. A personalised goal and support plan will then be developed with your family.
Your keyworker will provide regular therapy with your child and family, working towards meaningful goals within your child’s everyday environments

Play gives children opportunities to explore, learn and connect with others. Through play, children can develop communication, motor skills, problem-solving, creativity and emotional regulation. Play also supports friendships and independence. We help your child build on their interests so they can participate in play that is enjoyable and meaningful to them.
Yes. We start with what your child enjoys, which may include movement, sensory activities, songs or games with people. We build on these interests to create enjoyable play experiences and explore new activities at their own pace.
Depending on your child’s needs and current skills, we may focus on shared attention, imitation, imagination, problem-solving and communication during play. We can also support your child to initiate play, join others, negotiate ideas and navigate challenges such as losing a game.
