Supporting children and their families to Thrive everyday.
Thrive Paediatric Occupational Therapy is a Brisbane based mobile service bringing Occupational Therapy directly to you and your child. We are passionate about providing support in natural environments, helping children and families build lifelong and transferrable skills to thrive everyday.
Our Services.
-
We offer convenient and flexible Occupational Therapy (OT) sessions in school, at home or via Telehealth, depending on yours and your child’s needs. OT provided in a child’s natural environment has numerous benefits and supports their overall development.
School: OT provided at school can help improve classroom participation, focus, handwriting, independence, and social skills, while also supporting emotional regulation and enhancing overall academic success.
Home: OT provided in the home setting can help improve morning and/or afternoon routines, dressing and self-care tasks, meal and food preparation skills and sleep routines.
Telehealth: Telehealth sessions offer flexible online therapy, providing remote support to children in the comfort of their home.
-
We offer both individual (1-1) and group sessions throughout the school terms, and during holiday breaks.
Our individualised sessions are generally 60min in duration, and are tailored to support yours and your child’s goals.
Please see our group page for more information on what groups are offered - these are subject to interest and availability. Our groups are designed to provide a safe, supportive environment where children can feel comfortable being themselves, whilst engaging in fun and interest-based activities to support developmental skills.
-
We utilise a range of targeted formal and informal assessments and therapeutic approaches when working with your child to achieve their goals. These may include:
Home / Educational / Community Observations (assessment of a child within their home, kinder, daycare, school or community setting)
Assessment for funding applications including Vineland assessments, independent living skills or adaptive behaviours.
Sensory Profiles
Fine and Gross motor skill assessments
Visual-Motor assessments
Handwriting assessments
Retained Primitive Reflex assessments
We also offer MedicoLegal assessments/reports - please contact us to see if we can support you with your specific needs.

Our Kindy Uplift programme offers personalised support to kindergartens and their educators to foster children’s development and school readiness, focusing on building key skills through fun and engaging activities. We also conduct environmental assessments, making necessary adaptations and providing resources to create the best possible learning environment.
Our APPROACH.
At Thrive Paediatric OT, we are dedicated to supporting your child’s unique journey, with a focus on neuroaffirming practices that celebrate each child’s strengths and differences. We tailor therapy to meet your child’s individual needs, providing a safe and nurturing environment where they can thrive. We work closely with families, educators, and treating healthcare providers to create a collaborative approach that fosters growth, independence, and confidence. Whether at home, school, or through Telehealth, we are committed to helping your child reach their full potential in a way that honours their individuality.
Why choose us?
We are a neuroaffirming Occupational Therapy practice who offer assessments, therapy, NDIS support, and services for children and their families in Brisbane and across Australia.
Neuroaffirming means that we recognise ADHD, Autism, Dyslexia, and other neurodivergence as natural variations in human development. We focus on supporting children and their families in ways that embrace their unique strengths, rather than viewing them through the lens of ‘disorders’, ‘deficiencies’, or ‘conditions’ that need to be ‘treated’ or ‘managed’. We value neurodivergent voices and are continuously learning from those with lived experience. We also have our own neurodivergent lived experience, and are passionate about providing a safe space for fellow neurodivergents to feel seen, heard and supported throughout their life but especially through their formative years.
Whether or not your child has a diagnosis, Thrive Paediatric OT can support them in their daily activities. Using a strengths-based approach, we focus on your child’s strengths and interests to guide therapy and align goals with what motivates them. We view challenges as opportunities for growth, and by emphasising strengths, children build confidence, feel valued, and are more willing to tackle challenging tasks. Our hope is that the whole family unit feels supported.
