We can also visit nearby childcare centres, preschools and schools in a training capacity to strengthen skills in educators and teachers.

Many families in Glenelg are weighing up where to start when a child is finding speech, language, sensory experiences or everyday tasks harder than expected. Our speech pathologists and occupational therapists work under one roof, so a Glenelg family doesn’t need to manage two separate clinics.

Occupational Therapy

- Sensory processing
- Regulation
- Organisation & planning

Because Glenelg sits so close to our Hove clinic, it’s an easy fit for families wanting therapy to slot into an existing routine rather than build a whole afternoon around it. We work with children across every stage — from toddlers just starting to explore speech and movement, through to preschoolers preparing for school, and school-age children navigating literacy, daily living skills, friendships, or classroom demands.
Why families from Glenelg choose SPOT
We keep fees clear from your very first phone call, including how NDIS, Medicare and private funding options apply to your child. You’re invited to be part of every session — we see parents and carers as partners in therapy, and crucial for success not bystanders. Sessions are shaped around what your child enjoys and finds meaningful, and our neuro-affirming approach respects that every child experiences the world in their own way.
