Our Services
We offer a range of services for children with developmental delay in our mission to support North Brisbane’s tiny-tots, teenagers and kiddies in between. Our team is currently proud to offer occupational therapy, early intervention services following the Early Start Denver Model (ESDM), and occupational therapy clinical supervision. .
Occupational Therapy
Therapy Time delivers a range of individualised occupational therapy intervention and assessments for babies, kids, teens and adolescents. Our programs support our clients across a range of developmental areas including fine motor skills, gross motor skills, emotional regulation, social skills, play skills, self-care skills and sensory processing.
We work towards functional goals including toileting, feeding, sleep, play, dressing, school readiness, organisation, planning, money management, travel training, community access and more. Rachael has a passion for supporting clients with mealtime and feeding goals.
Available assessments include sensory assessments, functional assessments for NDIS, ESDM checklist assessments, and handwriting assessments.
Early Start Denver Model (ESDM)
In short... the ESDM is (in our opinion) the gold standard therapy starting point for a little one with developmental delays or autism diagnosis. It's play-based, relationship focussed, and it has a whole lot of science behind it. ESDM builds on a child's unique interests to foster social-emotional, cognitive, motor and language abilities.
It is an evidence-based, early intervention program for children between 1-4 years of age with a focus on play, routines, and relationships. The ESDM was developed by the MIND Institute in California and combines the principles of Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) with developmental and play-based techniques. The program has input from speech pathologists, psychologists, educators and occupational therapists.
Rachael is one of the few therapists in Queensland to be a certified therapist in the ESDM.
Occupational Therapy Clinical Supervision
Therapy Time offers high quality occupational therapy supervision to Australia’s occupational therapists. This service is ideal for occupational therapists seeking to further develop paediatric clinical skills or for therapists who do not have access to regular supervision in their workplace.
Clinical supervision can include group support for a team of therapists, individual support, documentation review or session reviews.
We would love to support you either online or face to face, with availability to service supervision Australia-wide.
