Home and Community Life Skills

Guided by an OT and delivered by an Allied Health Assistant (AHA) Home & Community Life Skills extends therapy beyond the clinic into the child or teens natural environments, supporting daily living skills, social engagement and community participation.

We have a dedicated team of Allied Health Assistants who bring a valued mix of qualifications, interests, work and life experiences to our children, youth and families.

Best Practice is built into our service design

• Following assessment and intervention with our occupational therapist a Service Plan is developed collaboratively with parents (and child) outlining the goals, scope and location of services.
• Following each session the AHA formulates a Session Reflection which can be reviewed by the occupational therapist.
• Formal ongoing program monitoring and upgrading occurs via regular OT/AHA Programming Meetings. Meeting minutes and relevant resources are emailed to parents and other team members as arranged following each meeting.
• Parents are invited to book a consultation with the occupational therapist as needed to review progress and set future direction of goals or services.
