Service Delivery
Occupational Therapists at Natalie B Paediatric Occupational Therapy provide ongoing services using a variety of delivery modes.
In-Clinic Delivery
In-clinic sessions are offered at our Wantirna South site. Parents are encouraged to attend in clinic sessions with their children so that they can observe and implement therapy at home. This is advisable to reinforce the skills learnt in therapy and translate them to your child’s natural environments including home, school and the community. Research actually suggests that therapy is just as effective when implemented at home by parents/caregivers!
External Delivery Modes
School & Kinder / ChildcareSchool and kindergarten/childcare sessions can be provided to children who will benefit from receiving therapy within their learning environment and if this mode of delivery directly targets their occupational therapy goals. | TelehealthAs an alternative to face-to-face sessions, services can be offered remotely via Telehealth if this option is preferred. Telehealth services can only be considered if the service delivery mode works for the child and their therapy goals. Our therapists strive to provide interactive and engaging Telehealth services! |
Care Team MeetingsWhen required, your therapist will attend care team meetings with other therapist working with your child, and liaise with the care team members to provide holistic care. | Parent CoachingNot all therapy can be conducted in-clinic, for example, supporting your child to develop more independence with their toileting goals, or build their ability to tolerate a greater variety of foods. These types of goals are best met when the intervention is also met with parent coaching. |
