Services | Kids Thrive Therapy

OUR SERVICES

Client and family-centred services to support your child’s development and abilities.

We work with a wide range of conditions and issues including autism spectrum disorder (ASD), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), gross & fine motor development, handwriting, emotional regulation, sensory processing challenges, toileting issues and more.

We provide outreach based in schools, kindergarten, child care and home, as well as clinic and telehealth sessions.

ASSESSMENTS

Kids Thrive Therapy use a combination of parent/carer interview, observation of play or functional activities, and standardised or formal assessments. Assessments vary depending on the child's age, their individual needs, as well as parent/carer concerns.

Kids Thrive Therapy can also provide occupational therapy assessments for schools.

GOAL DIRECTED THERAPY

Therapy is designed according to your child’s individual needs. Careful consideration is also given to what works best for your family. High value is placed on ensuring therapy is achievable, fun and setting realistic expectations. We cater to the goals of the individual and their family in the following areas:

Gross motor and mobility skills (core strength, balance, and coordination)
Fine motor skills (grasp and release of objects, strength, dexterity, and using 2 hands together)
Handwriting (letter formation, orientation to line, speed, legibility, written expression)
Self-care skills (dressing, managing shoes and socks, personal hygiene, toileting)
Visual motor skills (knowing where limbs are in space, eye-hand coordination)
Cognitive and perceptual skills (visual memory, problem solving, visual sequencing)
Executive functioning skills (planning, self-organisation, working memory)
Sensory processing (increased or decreased sensitivity to auditory, visual, tactile stimuli)
Self-regulation (managing behaviour and emotions in different environments)
Social-emotional skills (separating from parent, playing appropriately with siblings / peers)
Play Skills (imaginary or pretend play, engaging in new play sequences)
