Who we work with
CHILDREN
Our Occupational Therapists at mOT work with children and adolescents to improve their participation in everyday life, play, leisure, productivity and self-care. We promote normal development and address issues relating to specific learning difficulties, physical disabilities, delayed development or those recovering from illness or injury. Our team will liaise with you to implement holistic individualised therapy and interventions programs that are tailored to suit your child's needs and goals.
We will also work collaboratively with other stakeholders such as childcare facilities, schools, teachers, support staff and other allied health professionals to ensure that strategies and interventions are implemented, not only at home, but in the classroom and anywhere else your child spends their time. Liaising with other allied health professions also ensures that a cohesive and consistent multidisciplinary approach is used to address your child's barriers.

Our occupational therapists can support a range of diagnoses, such as:
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

Genetic conditions

Dyslexia

Dyspraxia/DCD

Developmental delays

Cerebral Palsy

Intellectual disabilities

Complex Trauma

Down Syndrome

ADULTS & OLDER ADULTS
Our Occupational Therapists at mOT work with adults with disabilities to increase their independence, improve their quality of life and remain living at home for as long as possible with a sense of dignity and compassion.

Using a variety of assessments, our occupational therapists will identify the individual's personal strengths, as well as the barriers and limitations that are preventing them from doing what they want to, need to or are expected to do in their lives. By assessing the person, their occupation, and their environment, they can help you work out practical solutions to increase independence and improve quality of life.

MENTAL HEALTH
Our Occupational Therapists at mOT can assist individuals who are experiencing mental health conditions, such as anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder and schizophrenia.

They will work with an individual to holistically identify, understand and develop better ways to deal with a mental illness in the context of everyday life while supporting them to reach their full potential.



Individuals with mental health conditions can have trouble with:

Social withdrawal

Occupational therapy has a core belief that ‘doing' is therapeutic and can beneficial to an individual's health and wellbeing. At mOT we can support you to find this purpose, maintain hope for the future and reclaim the roles in life that are most important to you.
