About this provider

At The OT Group, our paediatric allied health team delivers integrated Occupational Therapy (OT) and Speech Pathology services across Greater Melbourne, Bendigo, and regional Victoria. We provide goal-directed, evidence-based, and neuroaffirming supports across home, clinic, early learning centre, and school environments to build capacity and empower children to achieve independence and active participation. We focus on helping children develop the skills they need to grow into functional, independent adults. We support children to address challenges associated with sensory, motor, social and emotional development which can impact a child's ability to perform everyday tasks, engage in meaningful activities and perform at school. Our Occupational Therapists support children to develop the functional skills required for everyday activities, play, and learning: Fine & Gross Motor Skills: Strengthening hand function, dexterity, posture, coordination, handwriting, and physical play skills.

Independence & Daily Living Skills: Developing self-care routines, personal independence, and practical life skills. Executive Functioning & School Readiness: Building organisation, planning, attention, task completion, and social participation skills Our Speech Pathologists evaluate and support all facets of communication, literacy, and mealtime safety: Early Intervention & Language Development: Assessing and treating expressive, receptive, and pragmatic language skills in early childhood and school-aged children. Speech Sound & Articulation: Improving speech clarity, articulation, phonological sound production, and fluency.
