Services We Provide in Cairns

We support children and young people with:

Disability and developmental delay

We support children with disability and developmental delay through comprehensive assessment and tailored, goal-focused therapy. Our team helps build skills in motor development, self-care, learning, regulation, and everyday participation at home, school, and in the community.

Autism and ADHD

We support children with autism and ADHD through individualised therapy focused on regulation, attention, executive functioning, social participation, and daily living skills. Our approach is practical and designed to improve confidence and functional outcomes across home and school environments.

Sensory processing differences

We identify sensory related patterns of behaviour and provide strategies to address these sensory issues. We use the Alert Program, which provides an experiential approach to teaching self regulation skills.

Emotional regulation and behavioural challenges

We support children to understand and manage their emotions by building practical emotional regulation skills that promote confidence, resilience, and positive behaviour.

Fine motor, gross motor and coordination skills

We provide targeted therapy to develop fine and gross motor skills, supporting strength, coordination, balance, pencil grip, handwriting, and overall body awareness.

Self-care, toileting and daily living skills

We look at all of the things that your child might do during the day including, toileting, eating, cleaning teeth, dressing, and domestic activities such as making the bed and cooking.
