​
An initial assessment will take between one and two hours. It may include a parent interview and questionnaire; teacher questionnaire; classroom observations (if relevant); clinical observations; and standardised and non standardised assessments based on the age and needs of the child.

Individual Therapy
​
Depending on your child’s developmental needs and your family’s circumstances your child’s therapist will recommend either weekly or fortnightly sessions. Therapy includes: targeted Occupational Therapy intervention; feedback on your child’s progress and home fun / practice if relevant.
​
Group Therapy
​
There may be times in your child’s treatment plan that they would benefit from Group Therapy. We take particular care to match clients according to needs, interests and personalities and our groups are only open to existing clients as we build our groups around our clients' needs. Your child's occupational therapist will discuss with you the value of group therapy depending on individual goals, support needs and progress.
​
Parent / Caregiver Education Sessions
​
The Building Blocks team is passionate about assisting children to reach their potential and supporting caregivers in their role of enabling children’s development. With this in mind we surveyed our families and developed our Education Sessions in response to identified needs and interest.
​
These sessions are open to all prospective, new and current clients. Please be aware that numbers are limited so registration is required. Our Autism and Emotional Regulation Workshops have been very popular and we have an ongoing waitlist for them.
​
Please contact us to inquire about any current workshops that we may be running including: topic, date, venue, cost and registering. Caregiver training and education may be funded through your child's Capacity Building Budget (Improved Daily Living Skills).​​

We provide a confidential, safe and supportive environment and facilitate you to critically reflect on your practice through flexible sessions tailored to your caseload, questions and individual needs.

School Sessions

We welcome the opportunity to discuss with schools their specific needs and to collaboratively design a service that promotes their students' foundational skill development to enhance participation and confidence within the classroom and school yard.
