Building strong foundations in the early years

The first seven years are the most critical for development. Our early childhood programs use play-based, family-centred approaches to identify challenges early and set children up for lifelong success.

  • Developmental milestone assessment and monitoring
  • Fine and gross motor skill development
  • Sensory processing and regulation support
  • School readiness and transition planning
  • Communication and social skill development

Paediatric Occupational Therapy Ages 0–17

Helping children thrive in everyday life

Our paediatric OT services focus on building the skills children need to participate fully in daily activities — at home, at school, and in the community. We meet each child where they are and create meaningful, goal-driven therapy plans.

  • Fine motor skills — handwriting, cutting, self-care tasks
  • Gross motor skills — balance, coordination, physical play
  • Sensory processing and sensory diet development
  • Social participation and peer interaction strategies
  • Adaptive equipment assessment and prescription
  • Functional capacity assessments for NDIS

  • Disability Access Plans (DAP) and support plans
  • Classroom environment and sensory assessments
  • Teacher and school staff consultations
  • IEP (Individual Education Plan) contributions

FAQ

Common questions about our services

Who do you work with?

We work with children, adolescents, and adults across a wide range of needs — including developmental delays, Autism, ADHD, sensory processing differences, mental health challenges, fine and gross motor difficulties, school participation, and daily living skills.

Do I need an NDIS plan to access services?

No. We support clients who are NDIS-funded, plan-managed, or privately funded. You don't need NDIS funding to work with Haven OT — we welcome all clients regardless of funding type.

How do telehealth sessions work?

Telehealth sessions are conducted via a secure video call platform. All you need is a device with a camera and a stable internet connection. Our therapists have extensive experience delivering engaging, effective therapy entirely via telehealth — for both children and adults.

What is the difference between an OT and an Allied Health Assistant?

An Occupational Therapist (OT) is a fully registered clinician who conducts assessments, creates therapy plans, and leads your care. An Allied Health Assistant (AHA) works under OT supervision to implement those plans — providing more frequent, cost-effective sessions that help build skills faster through regular practice.

How long will therapy take?

This depends entirely on your goals, needs, and starting point. Some clients achieve their goals in a few months; others benefit from longer-term support. We review progress regularly and adapt your plan so that every session is purposeful and driving real outcomes.

Can you write reports for NDIS access or plan reviews?

Yes. Our team writes comprehensive OT reports for NDIS access requests, plan reviews, functional capacity assessments, school support, and more. We understand what the NDIS requires and write reports that clearly communicate your needs and goals.

Do you offer school-based or home-visit services?

Yes. In addition to telehealth, we offer school-based therapy and home visit services in select areas. Contact us to find out what's available in your location — or whether telehealth could work just as well for your needs.
