​

Therapy focuses on: 

• Self-care activities

• Fine motor skills 

• Gross motor skills 

• Sensory processing

• Emotional regulation

• Executive functioning

• Healthy habits & routine

• Social skills

At Arawa Occupational Therapy we love to connect with people, we don't believe that location is a barrier to success and therefore we offer most of our services on telehealth too!

​

Sessions will often include a small amount of preparation from the clients caregiver or support person. This could look like setting up the space with the resources required, printing a document or two and being present during the session. 

​

​

• Sensory assessments

• Functional Capacity assessments

• School readiness checklists and report

• Preschool screeners

• NDIS reports and letters of recommendations

Therapy sessions can be incredibly fun and busy and we do our best to provide in the moment education but we acknowledge that sometimes it is hard to take it all in. 

We offer parent coaching for specific education and to provide time for listening and responding to the challenges and concerns you might have. We provide this support after hours to ensure parents, caregivers and the other people in your village can be present. We will always follow up these sessions with an email to cover the discussion topics.

We offer staff development to preschools, schools, support workers and other professional groups who are wanting to upskills. We  know how boring it can be sitting and listening to someone talk at you so we ensure all our training is interactive, engaging and specific to the clients and students you are working with.

 

Mentoring is a wonderful addition to our services. We have enjoyed supporting other occupational therapists in growing their clinical skills and knowledge. We provide supervision/mentoring via telehealth to service providers.
