Occupational Therapy
At All Abilities Therapy for Kids and Teens, our team provides personalised Occupational Therapy in Noosaville to help children and teens develop the skills they need for everyday life. Our Paediatric Occupational Therapy (OT) clinicians support young people to build independence and confidence in activities that matter most to them, including play, learning, socialising, and participating in their home, school, and community.
❋ Our Approach
We collaborate closely with families and key members of your young person's community to discover any barriers they face in becoming more independent.
❋How We Work
Our Sunshine Coast practice is firmly established in neuroaffirming, evidence and strengths based practice; meaning we focus on your young person's unique strengths and profile, use play based activities and offer a safe and nurturing space to support them to build skills and increase confidence.

What To Expect.
1. Get in Touch
Call our clinic or complete our online intake form. Our friendly admin team will contact you to answer questions, understand your needs, and book the right appointment with the right clinician.
2. Initial Appointment
Your Occupational Therapist meets with parents/caregivers to learn about your child’s strengths, challenges, and goals. Depending on your child’s age and needs, your child may also attend the first session.
3. Therapy
Your Occupational Therapist delivers an individualised therapy plan using evidence-based, neuro-affirming approaches tailored to your child.
Sessions may include:
Child-focused therapy (play-based, CBT-informed, regulation strategies)
Parent coaching and practical home strategies
Collaboration with schools and other professionals
We focus on building trust, supporting autonomy, and empowering families.
4. Assessment (If Needed)
Where appropriate, your Occupational Therapist may recommend assessment to better understand your child’s needs. This may include observations, interviews, questionnaires, and standardised tools, completed across one or more sessions.
5. Feedback & Goal Setting
We meet with you to discuss findings, strengths, and recommendations. Together, we set meaningful goals and provide a written report to guide ongoing support.
We offer block-based therapy for our NDIS clients, designed to provide more focused and meaningful support for each child. Therapy is delivered in structured blocks across the school term, followed by a review and planning period during the holidays to assess progress and set next steps. This approach allows our team to deliver more targeted, goal-focused therapy that adapts to your child’s evolving needs.
Our clinic proudly supports families looking for a paediatric Occupational Therapy in Noosaville, and across the Sunshine Coast.
