Our multidisciplinary allied health service delivers integrated occupational therapy, speech pathology and psychology supports within preschool settings to improve children’s development, participation and school readiness.

We provide play-based supports through group activities, educator coaching and embedded strategies within everyday routines. Programs are delivered in flexible, multi-week blocks (typically 8–10 weeks) and tailored to each preschool’s needs.

Our clinicians work alongside educators to model and coach evidence-informed strategies in real time, building capability to support communication, emotional regulation, social skills, motor development and independence across daily routines.

Ongoing implementation support, including practical resources and collaborative planning, ensures strategies are embedded and sustained beyond direct service delivery.

Children benefit from improved communication, emotional regulation, social interaction, motor skills and confidence to participate in learning. Educators gain practical skills to support all learners, while families are equipped with strategies to reinforce development at home.

This service is delivered within preschool settings through a combination of group-based activities, educator coaching and embedded strategies within everyday routines.

Programs are delivered in flexible, multi-week blocks (typically 8–10 weeks), with sessions ranging from 60–120 minutes depending on preschool needs. Delivery is flexible and can be provided in-person, online or via a hybrid model to support accessibility across metro, regional and remote services.

Sessions are facilitated by allied health clinicians (occupational therapy, speech pathology and psychology) who work directly with children and educators in real time. Each session includes structured group activities targeting communication, emotional regulation, social skills and motor development, alongside opportunities for educator-led practice supported by clinician coaching and feedback.

Educators are actively involved in all sessions, receiving modelling, guided practice and practical strategies to embed supports into daily routines such as group time, play, transitions and learning experiences.

Ongoing implementation support is provided through strategy resources, collaborative planning and follow-up discussions to ensure strategies are embedded and sustained beyond direct delivery.
