We Are Here To Help!

Helping kids shine is at the core of who we are and what we do! 

I Can Do It! Kids Clinic provides Occupational Therapy intervention to children from 0-18 years.

 

We currently offer 50 minute weekly or fortnightly individualised therapy sessions that are tailored to your child's needs. 

 

Sessions are delivered in the I Can Do It! Kids Clinic environment to ensure access to specially chosen equipment and resources that will best support your child’s growth. 

 

Telehealth and home programs are also provided in replacement of face to face sessions in the event that your child is away or unwell.

How We Can Help...

Goal areas for your child's therapy are developed with you, and are also informed from assessment results and clinical observations.  

​

The scope of our intervention sessions will include one or more of the following areas:
