I help children in their home. This involves working collaboratively with parents to help their children develop skills in the areas of:

• Individual play skills

• Playing with siblings

• Sibling relationships

• Self-care

• Completing homework

• Engaging in positive behaviour at home

• Managing and expressing their emotions

• Managing screen-time with engagement in other tasks

• Gross and fine motor skill development

I assist children in their pre-school or school setting. This involves observing your child, meeting with teaching staff and helping your child develop a range of skills needed for school such as:

• Participating in fine motor activities (such as writing and craft)

• Playing with peers and making friends

• Following instructions

• Transitioning between activities

• Participating in routines and group settings

• Trying new things

• Maintaining attention to tasks and completing work

• Self-regulation, managing and expressing their emotions

• Positive behaviour

I work with parents to help them with communicating and playing with their child, understanding behaviour and supporting their child’s behaviour.

I also coach parents so they can help their child develop their social, play, cognitive, gross and fine motor skills.

I help parents manage goal setting and communication between multiple health professionals. I collaborate with parents and join them as they meet with their child’s teachers and other key school staff.

I also support parents to balance their needs with other’s they care for and help make sure they are looking after themselves too.
