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.

Our APPROACH.
At Thrive Paediatric OT, we practice with a neuroaffirming approach that celebrates strengths, honours differences, and prioritises felt safety. Therapy is family-centred, child-led, play-based and trauma-informed, with a focus on connection, regulation and meaningful skill-building. We work alongside families, educators and other professionals to support independence and participation across home, school and community.
Why choose us?
Thrive Paediatric OT provides neuroaffirming, strengths-based Occupational Therapy for children and families in Brisbane and Australia-wide, offering assessments, therapy and NDIS support. We recognise neurodivergence (including Autism, ADHD and dyslexia) as a natural part of human development, and support children to feel confident, valued and understood - whether or not they have a diagnosis.
Families choose us for our flexible appointment options (mobile home and school visits, telehealth and in-clinic by request), and our collaborative approach with the child, parents, other professionals and schools. We prioritise regulation and felt safety,, focus on functional goals, and use evidence-informed strategies that translate across home, school and community. We are also PDA-informed and GLP-informed, supporting autonomy and communication in ways that feel safe and respectful.
Our practice is grounded in celebrating each child’s unique profile and lived experience, informed by neurodivergent voices and our own lived experience. Our hope is that families feel seen, understood and supported.
