Our Ongoing Therapy
- Set family-centred goals that meet your unique needs.
- Collaborate with the therapist to progress toward your chosen goals.
- Receive support based on clinical evidence.
Family-centred goal setting
Once an assessment has been completed, you will decide whether you would like to proceed with Occupational Therapy and/or Speech Pathology services to support your child's needs. The therapist will work with you to decide which goals are most important for your child or family to achieve. The therapist will work closely with you to break large goals into small steps, and support your family to achieve one step at a time.
Guided by your child
A child's success is greatly impacted by their sense of safety to try new things in a fun and comfortable environment. Our therapists will tailor their activities, environment, and approach, to meet your child's needs. Your child's interests and play preferences will guide the activities presented by the therapist to ensure therapy is fun and engaging!
Supported by clinical evidence
At Steps Together we are passionate about supporting little people to reach their potential and are driven to see results. To provide the best therapy that we can for our clients, we engage in regular clinical mentoring, engage in professional development courses targeted to the conditions and skills sets which we commonly work with, and have access to a range of clinical information databases.
