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 Summary which is 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 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.

With experience developing and delivering a wide range of topics we can individualised workshops and training for schools, preschools and other services.
