Occupational Therapy in the Clinic, School and At Home
Occupational Therapy in the Clinic, School and At Home
Our paediatric Occupational Therapists provide individualised assessments to determine the best powered mobility device for your child. We consider factors such as physical abilities, cognitive ability, motivation and environment to ensure the best possible outcome.
We can prescribe various controllers, including joysticks and switches, to cater to children with different physical abilities and can also modify indoor and outdoor environments to make it easier for your child to use their powered mobility device. Our approach is family-centred and we work closely with you to ensure that the goals for your child are met. We also provide ongoing support to ensure that your child can master their device and achieve the highest level of independence possible.
Research has shown that powered mobility devices enhance development in children with multiple, complex disabilities. Through tool-use learning, children can develop a sense of self, explore cause/effect and become aware of relationships between themselves, others and their environment. Our individualised power mobility assessment and intervention support the growth of environmental awareness and communication skills in children with multiple and complex disabilities.
At Evolve Therapy Services we believe that early access to self-initiated mobility can change the growth and trajectory of developmental milestones for young children with mobility impairments. Contact us today to learn more about how we can help your child achieve greater independence through early powered mobility.
This week our team has been busy behind the scenes learning and growing! 📚✨
Recently some of our therapists completed training through European Bedding, building their knowledge in sleep positioning and equipment to support safe, comfortable sleep.
We also had some therapists complete training in ‘Tuning in to Kids: Emotionally Intelligent Parenting’, strengthening their skills in supporting parents to respond to big feelings with confidence and connection.
We love continuing to learn so we can bring evidence based interventions and practical support to the families we work with 💛

At Evolve, occupational therapy isn’t just about the child sitting at the table, it’s about the whole family around them 🏡
We love taking a family-centred approach, supporting parents, involving siblings and building strategies that work in real life, not just in the session!
Meaningful progress can only happen when everyone feels confident and supported ✨

Wrapped up and regulated 💙
Sensory regulation looks different for every child but the sensory swing is one of our favourite tools to support it. The combination of deep pressure and gentle movement helps calm busy bodies, strengthen body awareness and build core stability.
When children feel regulated, they’re better able to focus, engage and learn 🌟

🍽️ Building confidence around food, one step at a time 🥦
Does your child struggle with eating, avoid certain foods, or feel overwhelmed at the table?
Our paediatric feeding therapy supports children and families to build comfort and confidence around food in a calm, pressure-free way.
We support children with:
• sensory sensitivities
• mealtime anxiety or distress
• limited food variety or fussy eating
• developmental or neurodivergent-related feeding challenges
Using play-based strategies, sensory exploration and family-centred support, we help make mealtimes more positive for everyone 🌟
