One to One Sessions

Individualised and personalised.

Occupational Therapy & Speech and language therapy sessions taking place at our studio, your home, the community or learning environment.

Session Information

We run sessions Monday through to Friday; the first session is at 9am and the last commences at 4.30pm, a session lasts up to 50 minutes.

 

If one to one therapy sessions are recommended for either Speech or occupational therapy, they typically will take place on a weekly basis to fit in with a child’s regular schedule. Sessions may also take part as blocks with greater frequency during the school holidays or with less frequency if deemed appropriate.

My child is really enjoying and benefiting from her OT sessions. Our OT has been incredibly understanding and patient, giving the exact support my child needs and allowing her to progress at the right pace. The sessions are always fun and engaging!
