Our Approach to Children’s Occupational Therapy
For children, the goal of Occupational Therapy with Raymond Terrace Therapy is to ensure that a child is able to functionally participate in, and succeed in, the activities throughout their day.
Our Occupational Therapists provide children the opportunity to engage in activities that are fun, meaningful, and most importantly, offer the foundations of development necessary to excel in their lives, both academically and socially. We address challenges in sensory, motor, academic, and socio-emotional development within a supportive, play-based context.
NDIS Access Request & Early Support
Navigating the NDIS can be overwhelming. Our Occupational Therapists provide comprehensive Access Request Support and clinical reports to help families gather the necessary evidence to apply for NDIS funding. We assess functional impact across key developmental domains to clearly demonstrate your child’s need for early intervention or ongoing capacity-building support.
