Occupational Therapy in the Clinic, School and At Home
Occupational Therapy in the Clinic, School and At Home
At Evolve Therapy Services in Perth, we provide occupational therapy support for children who experience challenges with communication, social interaction, and everyday functional independence. Building social skills is a key part of a child’s development, supporting their ability to form relationships, express themselves, and participate in school, home, and community life.
Our occupational therapists help children develop the social understanding and communication skills they need to connect confidently with others. This may include support with:
We work with children across a wide range of needs — including those with social communication difficulties, anxiety, ADHD, or Autism Spectrum Disorder — using tailored, play-based and evidence-informed approaches.
In addition to social skills, we support children with broader functional skills that build independence and self-reliance, especially during times of transition (e.g. starting school or high school). Our OT's can assist with:
We help children learn these skills in ways that are developmentally appropriate and easily integrated into their daily routines at home or school.
Occupational therapy also plays a vital role in helping children develop life skills for everyday independence. As children grow, they benefit from learning to manage tasks like:
Our therapists support fine motor development, problem solving and planning skills — all of which contribute to a child’s ability to take care of themselves with confidence.
Resource of the Month: Barbie đź’…
Meet our trusty Barbie head! We love this one because it doesn’t ’feel’ like therapy. While our clients are busy channeling their inner hairdresser, they’re actually working on:
🪮 Practising hair brushing and grooming routines
đź’ˇ Sequencing and following steps
đź’Ş Fine motor and grip development
🤲 Bilateral hand coordination

Six years ago, Angela started Evolve with a simple goal: to provide high quality occupational therapy services that were practical, personalised and centred around the needs of each individual and family.
What began as one therapist and a small client base has grown into a team of 13, supporting children, adults and families across Perth.
Over the past six years, we’ve learnt a lot. We’ve grown in size, expanded our services and developed our knowledge and areas of expertise. While much has changed, the values that shaped Evolve from the beginning remain the same.
We remain passionate about providing thoughtful, evidence-based occupational therapy support that helps people participate more fully in the activities and roles that matter most to them.
We’re equally committed to creating a workplace where our team can continue to learn, grow and enjoy the work they do.
A belated celebration of Evolve’s 6th birthday, and a heartfelt thank you to our clients, families, referrers and team members who have been part of the journey.
