About Us
At Kids Blossom Occupational Therapy, we provide OT services in our clinic, as well as in homes and schools. We are passionate about paediatric practice, early childhood intervention, and working with children and their families to build skills, confidence, and participation in everyday life.
Walking alongside children and their families as they learn new skills, overcome challenges, and succeed in their everyday occupations (the activities that fill their days) is what makes our hearts feel full.
Our goal is to deliver high-quality, individualised OT services that are evidence-based, family-centred, child-led, neurodiversity-affirming, and trauma-sensitive.
We work closely with parents, caregivers, educators, and other members of a child's support team to create meaningful, achievable goals and strategies that fit into everyday life.
Located in Caloundra on the Sunshine Coast, we offer individualised and flexible occupational therapy services designed around the needs and goals of each child and family. This may include direct therapy with you and your child, collaborative sessions with parents and caregivers, consultation with educators and other members of your child's support team, and observations in the environments where your child learns, plays, and spends their day.
Our services are tailored to support sensory, motor, and self-regulation development for children with a range of developmental differences, including global developmental delay, ADHD, autism, genetic conditions, Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) and other developmental presentations.
No diagnosis or referral is required to get started with occupational therapy. However, speaking with your GP or paediatrician may help you access funding options through Medicare or the NDIS, if eligible.
Our Clinic Space
Our clinic is a safe, inclusive, and playful space where children of all abilities and neurotypes are encouraged to be themselves. It is designed to support motor and sensory exploration while promoting regulation, confidence, and independence. We strive to create an environment where families feel comfortable, respected, and supported, and we value your feedback as part of continually improving our space and services.
Our Approach
We take a holistic approach to paediatric occupational therapy, addressing the neurodevelopmental, physical, emotional, sensory, cognitive, social, and environmental needs of each child.
At Kids Blossom OT, we are passionate about early intervention, working with parents and caregivers, and supporting children with diverse strengths, needs, and ways of experiencing the world. We have a particular interest in supporting neurodivergent children whose needs are often overlooked, misunderstood, or underestimated.
Our goal is to make therapy fun, engaging, and meaningful. We use a play-based, collaborative, and child-led approach that places your child at the centre of the therapy process while recognising the important role of parents and caregivers in supporting development. This provides opportunities for children to build confidence, explore choices, make decisions, and try new things. Along the way, they learn about their bodies and emotions while developing skills and strategies that are meaningful and effective for them.
Every child is unique, so we create individualised therapy plans tailored to their strengths, needs, and goals. We work closely with parents, caregivers, educators, and other members of a child's support team, using evidence-based strategies to support participation and progress at home, school, and in the community.
Parents and caregivers are encouraged to be actively involved in therapy. We recognise that parents and caregivers are the experts on their child and play a vital role in supporting meaningful and lasting change. Working together allows us to create goals and strategies that are relevant, achievable, and meaningful for the whole family.
