Mobile occupational therapy is a powerful tool for helping your child develop skills wherever they feel comfortable. Our Brisbane mobile occupational therapists can meet your child in school or at home to achieve and exceed their therapy goals.
At Active Eight, we understand how important it is for your little one to feel comfortable learning new skills. Our Brisbane mobile occupational therapy is all about inspiring and encouraging your child to build essential practical, physical and emotional skills at their own pace. \
Our experienced occupational therapists (OTs) can visit you and your child at home, in school or at an agreed-upon location. Through our fun and engaging play-based approach, we’ll help your child develop essential lifelong skills, build confidence and have lots of fun, too!
Mobile occupational therapy is a specialised service that brings occupational therapy directly to your home, school or preferred location. This approach is especially beneficial for babies, kids and teens who have difficulty travelling due to physical, cognitive, or other limitations. It’s also a great tool for helping children and parents integrate strategies, techniques and skills into their everyday lives, as your OT can tailor their approach based on your child’s environment.
At your initial appointment, our team will evaluate your child’s needs, abilities and goals to find the right approach for them.
For home-based sessions, your OT may suggest environmental modifications to improve accessibility, comfort and development for your child. We also provide education for parents to help them reinforce occupational therapy strategies between sessions.
For more information on mobile occupational therapy in Brisbane, get in touch with our friendly team. We’ll discuss your child’s needs and establish an initial appointment with one of our experienced OTs.
