Kids OT in Your Community

We provide mobile occupational therapy across the Gold Coast, offering services in locations where your child feels safe and supported. This may include their home, school, daycare or another community setting. Therapy sessions are designed to reduce stress for both child and family by removing the need for travel and unfamiliar environments.

Our service areas include Helensvale, Robina, Hope Island, Pimpama, Coolangatta, Tweed Heads and many more. If you’re unsure whether occupational therapy is the right fit for your child, we offer assessments to identify support needs and potential goals.

How We Help Your Children Achieve Their Goals

Each child is different. We take the time to understand your child’s needs and create a therapy plan that supports their development in areas such as:

  • Fine motor skills for writing, drawing and self-care

  • Gross motor skills for play and movement

  • Sensory processing to manage sensitivity or seeking behaviours

  • Social interaction and emotional regulation

  • Daily routines like dressing, eating and toileting

Therapy is tailored to your child’s age, abilities and interests. We work closely with families, educators and support workers to help children meet their goals at home and in the classroom.

Occupational Therapy Tailored to Each Child’s Needs

Our team supports children with a wide range of needs, including those with developmental delays, autism spectrum disorder (ASD), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), sensory processing differences and physical or intellectual disabilities. Therapy plans are aligned with your child’s NDIS goals and funding, ensuring that support is both effective and purposeful. With years of experience working in NDIS and allied health, we understand the importance of practical, consistent support for children and families. Therapy sessions focus not just on clinical outcomes but on everyday participation and skill development.

Here is our Process how we help

  • Initial Contact and Consultation

    We begin with a conversation to learn more about your child and your concerns. From here, we schedule an assessment and begin gathering background information.

  • Comprehensive Assessment

    A paediatric occupational therapist will assess your child’s strengths, challenges and functional needs across areas like self-care, movement, sensory processing, and communication.

  • Tailored Treatment Plan

    Together with your family, we set realistic goals and design a personalised plan that focuses on what matters most to your child.

  • Treatment Delivery

    We visit your home, school or community space to deliver therapy sessions that are fun, engaging and tailored to your child’s needs.

  • Ongoing Support and Reassessments

    We monitor progress over time and adjust the therapy plan as your child grows and develops. Regular updates ensure you’re always part of the journey.
