SPOT 4 KIDS
Speech Pathology & Occupational Therapy
Welcome to SPOT4KIDS! As our name suggests we are a paediatric Speech Pathology and Occupational Therapy service specialising in the screening, assessment and intervention for 0-18 year olds with speech and language delays, learning difficulties, Autism and Autistic Spectrum Disorders, attention deficits and developmental delay. We have 16 years experience working with children and their families to improve function and independence in everyday meaningful activities such as school activities (eg. reading, writing, spelling, speaking) play, sports and self care activities such as tying shoelaces and using cutlery.
Our practice is child-centred and we believe that all children’s needs are unique and therapy goals are best achieved when we work collaboratively with the child, their families and teachers to fully understand and address these needs. As a result, we are able to develop specific home and school programs for children to compliment therapy and ensure acquired skills are transferred from therapy to the home and classroom.
We use a sensory integrative approach as well as more “traditional” occupational therapy models and cognitive strategies. Additionally all of our therapists are trained in a multi-sensory literacy program offering individual or group tutoring and we are registered with ‘An Even Start’, a government funded program assisting children who did not reach benchmarks during national literacy testing.
Our therapists are primarily mobile therapists, servicing clients in their school, day care or home environments however we have clinics at some of our locations. We are registered Medicare providers and are registered with private health funds so that our clients can take advantage of the rebates available to them. We also have knowledge of the ‘Helping Children with Autism’ program and the new Medicare items available to children with Autism and Autistic Spectrum Disorders and their families so please ask us about these valuable government initiatives.
We have clinics in Sydney, Bowral, Coffs harbour, Yamba, Lismore, Ballina, Byron Bay, Murwillumbah, Tweed Heads and Gold Coast, please contact us on the following contact details:
