Therapy
At Calm and Connected we provide numerous services to support the development of social skills, emotional regulation and motor skills. We have developed these services by request from families who are seeking support for their children. We focus on building the skills of children and parents so that they are able to thrive across home and school. These include:

All our group programs and camps are run by occupational therapists and support staff. We design our programs so that therapy is embedded into the normal everyday activities that children do at their age. This way the groups are fun and children want to participate in the activities we do. The learning comes through in the moment due to the application of strategies and teaching by our therapists. We also structure each group so that children feel safe and supported.
We are able to cater for dietary requirements for the groups where food is provided.
Please check out each group that we offer below, or please feel free to give us a call on 0430 645 086 to see what groups would best suit your child. Funding information is also provided at the end of the page, we are registered for:
- NDIS
- Medicare and Private Health Rebates

OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY
Occupational therapists can support children at home, at school or in the community to allow them to participate in day to day activities. Whether it is building friendships, looking after themselves, completing school work or being a part of a sport team.
CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGY
Psychologists can support children to develop strategies for managing their thoughts and emotions. They can work with parents or teachers to develop a plan to manage behaviours so that children can function at home and school.
SPEECH PATHOLOGY
Speech Pathology services aim to prevent, assess, diagnose and treat communication and swallowing issues. Speech Pathologists support people to reach their potential in a range of environments such as schools, the community and the workplace.
BEHAVIOURAL SUPPORT
At Calm and Connected we are a registered Behaviour Support provider under the NDIS. This is a line item that families can receive funding under when their child has challenging behaviours, also known as CB Improved Relationships.
FUNCTIONAL ASSESSMENTS
In order to access therapy funding through the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) some children require Functional Assessments, which can be completed by our team.
GROUP PROGRAMS
We run a range of group programs from half day lego groups, full day social skills groups to overnight therapy intensives. These provide an opportunity for children to develop social skills and practice strategies in the moment.
