Providing family centered, evidence based and individualised occupational therapy support to children and families on the Mid North Coast
Occupational Therapy is a practice that aims to support people in participating in the daily living activities they need to do, are expected to do and want to do.
For kids, this this means we don't only support them, but also their families, other important people in their life and the community they live in. Because some things a child is "expected to do or needs to do" aren't always a priority to them. Like dressing, toileting, sleeping, eating, grooming, traveling safely in the car and accessing the community. But these daily activities often play a large role in a child's ability to participate in their day to day routines. Occupational Therapy practice takes into consideration the child, their family and friends, their environments and the occupations they engage in to achieve goals directed by the child and their family.
A child's primary occupation is PLAY! but disability, impairments, delays, medical issues and neurodivergence can impact on a child's access to and participation in play.
Occupational Therapy can help to identify your child's strengths and barriers to participating in play and daily activities, and develop an individualised therapy plan to help achieve their goals and facilitate meaningful participation throughout their day.
At Coast Kids OT we endeavour to bring you the most up to date evidence, technologies and clinical knowledge to achieve goals identified by you. We aim to utilise education, family centred practice, individualised supports, and evidence based interventions in your natural environment to reach your goals.
We also understand that engaging in constant therapy can sometimes impact your life, rather than improve it. Coast Kids OT will deliver services in a way that works for you and your family.
Coast Kids OT are a mobile service, providing support across the Mid North Coast in your home, preschool, school and community. We do this to provide therapy support in the setting that is most appropriate to the goals you identify. If your child is having difficulty at mealtimes, let us come to your house during lunch. If your child has difficulty playing with toys, let us come for a play date at your home. If your child needs mobility equipment to access a local park, let's trial options at that park. Individualised therapy plans can be more effective because we develop them in the setting they are designed to be implemented in. This also enables us to reach families where travel options may be limited.
Coast Kids OT specialise in working with children aged 1-12 years. We also support children transitioning from primary school into high school, and will support the transition to a more appropriately resourced provider once we are no longer able to provide supports.
Coast Kids OT provide evidence based interventions for children with Cerebral Palsy, physical disability, intellectual impairment and developmental delays.
We will work in collaboration with your other service providers and stakeholders to help achieve your goals.
We are guided by your child's and family's goals. Area's we can help include; developmental skills, functional hand skills, fine and gross motor skills, self-care skills, play skills, handwriting and access to learning, functional mobility, manual handling procedures and training, transition to school support and sensory processing.
We provide assessment and prescription for occupation and participation enabling assistive technologies. Including; manual and powered wheelchairs, pushchairs/strollers, commodes and shower chairs, indoor seating, beds and mattresses, hoists, sleep systems, car seats/harnesses and daily living aids.
