Speech and Occupational Therapy at Amazing Kids

 

Beginning in 2025, Amazing Kids in both of our locations will provide specialised speech therapy and occupational therapy services designed to help children reach their full potential. Our evidence-based therapies are tailored to address individual goals and developmental needs, fostering confidence, independence, and skills for everyday life.

Speech Therapy

Our speech therapists support children and young people to develop and strengthen:
  • Speech and Language Skills: Assisting with speech clarity, vocabulary building, and expressive and receptive language development.
  • Literacy and Learning: Enhancing reading, spelling, and written expression.
  • Alternative Communication: Supporting non-speaking children to use tools such Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) and other non-speaking communication tools.
Whether addressing speech delays, stuttering, or social challenges, our services are designed to empower confident and effective communication across settings​


Occupational Therapy

Our occupational therapists help children participate in meaningful activities by focusing on:
  • Fine and Gross Motor Development: Improving hand-eye coordination, balance, and strength for tasks like handwriting and sports.
  • Self-Care Skills: Teaching dressing, feeding, toileting, and other daily routines.
  • Sensory Processing and Regulation: Helping children manage sensory inputs for better focus and emotional control.
  • Play and School Readiness: Encouraging participation in play and preparation for academic tasks​
By adapting tasks and environments to suit each child’s needs, our therapists ensure progress toward independence and daily success.


Functional Capacity Assessments

Amazing Kids offers Functional Capacity Assessments, which evaluate key areas of development and functioning, including:
  • Mobility and physical capabilities.
  • Communication and social interaction.
