ABOUT
ALL ABILITIES!
All Abilities – Therapy for Kids and Teens is a multidisciplinary allied health service that offers therapeutic intervention to children between the ages of 0-18 years of age. At All Abilities we work from a developmental model and believe that your child is ALWAYS capable of learning new skills and improving current skills. We offer individualised treatment plans tailored to your child and your family’s needs.
All Abilities is essentially a one-stop therapy shop. On staff we have Psychologists, Occupational Therapists, Speech and Language Pathologists and Therapy Aides. Our team collaborates with one another to share ideas, form treatment plans and offer support and advice so that we can deliver the highest quality services to our clients.
Our Psychologists can assist children with mental health concerns such as anxiety and depression, behavioural difficulties, social difficulties and educational difficulties/learning delays.
Our Occupational Therapist can assist children with fine and gross motor difficulties, toileting difficulties, eating difficulties and sensory difficulties.
Our Speech Language Pathologist can assist children with articulation problems, fluency difficulties, literacy difficulties as well as expressive and receptive language delays.

Therapy Aides
We assist the therapists to provide therapy programs by working 1 on 1 with children to meet their therapy goals. We follow a plan that is written and monitored by a therapist. We might see children in the centre or take them into the community, depending on what the goals are and what setting is most appropriate for the session. While we are not therapists we do have some relevant qualifications as well as extensive experience working with children with disabilities.
