Starting school is a significant transition. School readiness involves more than knowing letters and numbers—it includes communication, independence, emotional regulation, motor skills and feeling confident participating in classroom routines.
Our therapists use play-based activities to support the skills your child needs to participate in school while considering their individual strengths, needs and learning style.
Support may include group-time activities, play-based learning, fine motor tasks, early literacy and numeracy experiences, movement activities, shared games and practising everyday school routines. Activities are tailored to each child, with a focus on participation, confidence and independence rather than academic performance.
Support may be provided individually or through our group program.

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

At Blended Therapy Services, we understand that navigating early intervention can be overwhelming. Here are some common questions we receive.
School readiness involves building skills and confidence to participate in school life. This includes communicating needs, developing independence, connecting with others and navigating new routines. Every child starts school with different strengths and support needs.
Depending on your child’s needs and current skills, we may focus on communication, play and social skills, emotional regulation, following instructions, participating in group activities and transitioning between tasks. We can also support practical skills such as opening lunchboxes, managing belongings, toileting and using pencils and scissors.
