Our Vision
We put “occupation”, back into Occupational Therapy.
We strive to enable children to use their passions and hobbies as a therapeutic tool.
Wether it be surfing, dancing, arts and crafts, dress ups or writing letters to grandparents. We aim to utilise these loves to achieve the outcomes your kiddos want.
We come to you!
All services provided by Sproutlings Occupational Therapy are mobile.
We provide one on one therapy wherever holds meaning for your little person. We can meet you at home, school, daycare/kindy, at the park, beach or wherever holds meaning and purpose for your child.


What to expect at the first appointment
We start by meeting your little person and the parents/guardians and complete an initial assessment. This helps us identify your child’s strengths, areas of focus, and the underlying reasonings. A range of standardised and less formal assessments will be utilised. We also gather background information about your child from other key stakeholders (teachers/daycare educators/other therapists and doctors) and discuss what focus you’d like to take moving forward.
If you have any reports from previous therapists, assessments, medical reports or school, please provide these prior or bring them along with you to your first appointment.
A detailed report outlining the findings and recommendations can be provided after the initial assessment. We will also discuss the next steps and what therapy with us will look like, all within the first appointment.
