When school is a daily battle, the right OT can help.
Telehealth occupational therapy for kids across regional QLD and NSW, working with your child, with you, and with the school.
Does this sound familiar?
If you're reading this at the end of another hard day, you are not failing your child. You're just carrying a lot on your own.
When a child struggles at school, it's rarely about effort or attitude. There's usually a real, practical reason underneath, and once you see it, you can build a plan that lifts the load off you.
Three steps, no overwhelm
Book a 15-minute call
A short, no-cost chat about what's happening at home and at school. No pressure to go further.
We build a plan together
Shaped around your child's goals and your funding, so you know exactly what you're paying for.
Support where life happens
Telehealth into your home, and into the classroom, where the challenges actually are.
Support for the everyday things that feel hard
School readiness & transitions
Kindy to prep, primary to high school — planned before it arrives.
School refusal support
We find what sits underneath the refusal, then build steps back to class.
Executive functioning
Planning, memory and focus, so homework stops being a standoff.
Handwriting & fine motor
Grip, letter formation and hand strength, made climbable.
Everyday independence
Toileting, showering, dressing and simple cooking skills.
Emotional regulation
Naming big feelings and learning to ride them out.
Sensory processing
Building days and classrooms that work with sensory needs.
Parent coaching & home plans
Strategies and a home plan you can actually run.
How we work with your child's school, not around it
A lot of therapy sits outside the school gate: an hour in a clinic, then back to a teacher who never hears what was worked on. We work differently, so support reaches the classroom too.
Understand the child
How they learn, what helps, what tips them over.
Write the support plan
Plain language a teacher can actually use.
Brief the teacher
By video, so distance isn't a barrier.
Review and adjust
We keep the plan current as your child changes.
“A parent with a plan beats an hour a week of anything.”
— Casey Lee, Founder & Lead Occupational TherapistWhat you walk away with
- A clear plan you can follow at home, not a folder of jargon.
- Home strategies for the specific moments that go wrong.
- Someone in your corner who knows your child.
You're in the right place if…
Your little one isn't ready for prep
Sitting, listening or self-care isn't quite there yet.
Your primary-schooler is struggling
Meltdowns, shutdowns, and the notes keep coming.
Your child is refusing to go
The school gate is the hardest part of the day.
Homework & handwriting are a fight
Getting started feels impossible.
Your tween is dreading high school
A bigger, busier school is coming.
Self-care still needs you
At an age you hoped it wouldn't.
Experienced hands, and the time to actually know your child
Casey started Haven to work the way she believed OT should be done: with time, with families, and without treating a child as a referral to move through a caseload.
She works closely with parents and teachers, because children do best when the adults around them pull in the same direction. You will never be just another referral.
Clear on funding, before you commit
We'd rather be straight with you now than surprise you later.
NDIS
Self-managed and plan-managed plans both welcome, supporting paediatric goals under your child's plan.
Medicare
A GP Chronic Disease Management plan typically covers up to 5 sessions per year.
Private
No referral needed. Start this week and we'll sort out funding as we go.
Good questions, honest answers
For many families it works better. We coach you, the parent, so strategies get used across the whole week, in the places your child already lives their day.
Not for private appointments. Medicare needs a GP Chronic Disease Management plan. NDIS self- and plan-managed are both welcome.
Yes, it's core to how we work. We write support plans and brief teachers by video, without you taking a day off.
From school readiness in the early years through to high school. Unsure? That's what the 15-minute call is for.
We have capacity for ongoing clients right now. Book the call and we'll talk through timing.
Completely fine, and common. We coach you, so your child doesn't have to perform for a camera.
No. If something is making school or daily life hard, that's reason enough to have a conversation.
