Occupational Therapy
LaunchPod’s Occupational Therapy service supports children to build confidence, independence and participation in the everyday activities that matter to them.
​
Our Occupational Therapists use play, everyday routines and each child’s interests to make therapy practical, engaging and relevant to real life. Sessions may take place at home, in the community or through telehealth, depending on your child’s needs and goals.
What can Occupational Therapy support?
Occupational Therapy may support children with areas such as:
-
Emotional regulation and participation
-
Daily routines and independence
-
Play and leisure
-
Social participation
-
Fine and gross motor skills
-
Planning, organisation and completing everyday tasks
-
Sensory differences and environmental needs
-
Confidence when participating at home and in the community
Support is individualised around the child rather than following the same program for everyone.
1. Initial Consultation
We get to know your child, your family’s priorities and the areas of everyday life where you would like support.
2. Assessment and Goal Setting
Your Occupational Therapist gathers the information needed to understand your child’s strengths, needs and participation and works with you to identify meaningful goals.
3. Individualised Therapy
Sessions are designed around your child and may be delivered in person or through telehealth using activities and environments that are relevant to their everyday life.
4. Review and Collaboration
Progress is reviewed over time, goals are adjusted when needed and, with your consent, we can collaborate with other professionals involved in your child’s care.
How it works
Therapy Where Life Happens
Children do not use their skills only inside a therapy room.
​
Where appropriate, our Occupational Therapists work with children in the environments where everyday life happens, including their home and community. This creates opportunities to understand real routines, barriers and strengths and to practise skills in ways that are immediately meaningful.
Â
Telehealth is also available where it provides a practical and effective way to support the child and family.
Designed Around Your Child
Our Occupational Therapy is strengths-based, neuro-affirming and grounded in the belief that children do best when they feel safe, understood and genuinely engaged.
​
We take time to understand your child’s interests, communication style, routines and priorities before deciding what therapy should look like.
Â
Sessions may involve movement, LEGO®, games, technology, creative activities, everyday routines or community experiences. The activity may look like play, but it is chosen with purpose and connected to meaningful goals.
