Speech and occupational therapy for school-age children
Supporting school-age children to learn, grow, and succeed


Do you have a school-age child who…
- Struggles to keep up with their peers in writing, reading, or other school tasks?
- Finds it difficult to stay organised or follow instructions?
- Avoids social situations or finds it difficult to make and maintain friendships?
- Becomes overwhelmed by loud, busy environments like playgrounds, classrooms, shopping centres?
