As an occupational therapist, I provide sensory and motor assessments and make suggestions for developing
- attention and concentration
- motor strength and coordination
- self-regulation and confidence
- play/leisure skills
- living skills (eg, dressing, eating etc)
Sessions may include home practice plans, consultation with kinder or school teachers and/or parent support. Costs are $120-180 per hour depending on location. Rebates from Medicare (Enhanced Primary Care Plan, Better Access to Mental Health and Autism Plan), Fahcsia or Private Health Funds are available for these sessions.
I collaborate with the Travelling Autism Teachers and psychologists who provide parents with programs for home. I also work at Crisalida in Fitzroy, which has a fantastic team who focus on the social and emotional well-being of children and their families. Phone:9481-1233
On Fridays I collaborate with Behavioural Optometrists to develop programs for primary school age children who are having difficulty with reading, writing, spelling or maths. Ring Laubman & Pank on 9375 3111 for an Optometric Assessment first.
