Schools & Preschools

School-based one-on-one sessions

Our Occupational Therapists work from multiple schools across Sydney's North Shore and Northern Beaches, in addition to our Frenchs Forest clinic. Your child can have their one-on-one OT session during school time if that’s more convenient for you.

Please note this will depend on if we are working at your child's school or we have room in our schedule. If you would like us to come to your child’s school, please contact us to see how we can help your child.

School Consultations

Our OTs can also come and visit schools to observe children's participation in the classroom. This can be helpful for knowing which skills to work on in one-on-one OT sessions, as well as being able to provide recommendations for teachers as to how best support and engage children with additional needs.

School and Preschool Screenings

We can help schools and preschools identify which students may need extra support with their development by conducting screenings. This involves children completing a few fun tasks. This helps us to see which students are struggling and could benefit from extra help.

Areas we do screenings in include:

• Handwriting  Yrs K-12
• School Readiness

Professional Development Courses

We regularly present a variety of talks at schools, parent association groups and for other allied health professionals. We tailor each of our in-service presentations around your school’s specific needs, questions, subject area and/or cohort age range.

Some of the topics we have previously presented on include:

• Child development
• Sensory Processing
• The Zones of Regulation®
• The Steps to Movement
• Social Thinking
• Handwriting and Written Expression
• School Readiness

Our courses can count towards your Continuing Professional Development points and we are able to offer discounts for group bookings and direct invoicing to your school, if you require.
