Do you have children in your centre who…

• Struggle to communicate their thoughts and ideas, or understand others leading to frustration or meltdowns?
• Have difficulty processing, responding to or may become overwhelmed with sounds, textures, smell, movement and visual information in their environment?
• May be progressing slower with their motor skills, like walking, climbing, jumping, running, or using their hands for smaller tasks and self care?
• Find it hard to engage in play or interact with others?
• Demonstrate behaviours that are difficult to manage or understand?
• Become easily dysregulated or are dysregulated more often than others?

Our team are equipped to provide occupational therapy and speech pathology supports in a childcare or early learning setting. We provide allied health supports in line with the 5 AEDC Domains to support developmentally vulnerable children in the areas of physical health and wellbeing, social competence, emotional maturity, language and cognitive skills, and communication skills and general knowledge. With care and expertise, and culturally safe, inclusive practices, we aim to empower you, caregivers, and the young children in your centre to set them up for success in their community, school and beyond.

At SPOT Paediatrics, we focus on early interventions that help young children build key skills and feel confident in their world. Our support in your centre might include:

• Supporting awareness of, and ability to identify sensory processing challenges and providing practical suggestions to embed into everyday routines and interactions
• Providing small group supports for motor, speech, language and pre-literacy skills in collaboration with educators encouraging carry over specific tools and strategies into everyday routines and interactions
• Supporting awareness and understanding of regulation and co-regulation through caregiver and educator information sessions and coaching to trial strategies tailored for individual settings
• Coaching and support to follow children’s play interests and understand unique play styles, incorporating skill development within preferred play activities, and to embed strategies across the day in targeted developmental areas
