Welcome to the Play Pod

Based on the Gold Coast providing specialised occupational therapy for children. Our approach is built around a central strategy of parental inclusion, education and empowerment, with care taken to ensure intervention is goal directed, individualised and evidence-based.

WHAT ARE CHILDHOOD OCCUPATIONS?

Occupations are the activities your child engages in throughout their day ~ Learning How to Play with Toys, Explore their Surroundings, Feeding, Sleeping, Building Relationships, Participating in Educational Activities and as they grow, Learning to Look After Themselves. Your child’s occupations will vary depending on their age and stage of development.

WHAT IS OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY?

Paediatric Occupational Therapist’s are interested in understanding the daily occupations children need and want to do, as well as the daily occupations parents need to do to care for them.

Your child’s OT will work in partnership with you to achieve a shared understanding of the goals that are most important to you and your child. Evidence-based, goal-directed, interventions are carefully tailored by your OT to fit into your family routines.

Occupational Therapy can be provided in your family home, in the community, daycare, kindergarten or at the Play Pod clinic based in Tallai.
