Occupational therapy for children and early learning centres

Functional Capacity Assessments

We offer comprehensive assessments to explore your child’s strengths, challenges, and support needs. These assessments help guide NDIS-funded supports and other intervention plans, ensuring your child receives appropriate and effective services to enhance their daily participation and well-being.

Emotional Regulation

Big feelings can be overwhelming, but children don’t have to navigate them alone. Kidera helps children and their support network, including parents, caregivers, and educators, develop coping strategies for managing emotions. Using sensory-based regulation techniques, co-regulation strategies, and play-based interventions, we empower children to build emotional awareness and self-regulation skills.

Social Development

Strong social connections are essential for confidence, resilience, and relationship-building. We support positive interactions with peers, siblings, and adults, helping children develop communication skills, problem-solving abilities, and emotional intelligence in everyday social settings. Our play-based approach supports engagement, empathy, and collaboration, ensuring children feel secure and supported in social environments.

Feeding Support

Mealtimes should be a positive experience, but sensory sensitivities and feeding challenges can make it difficult. As a therapist trained in the Sequential-Oral-Sensory (SOS) Approach to Feeding, Brittany provides individualized strategies to help children with sensory-based feeding difficulties, restricted diets, and mealtime anxieties. Through gradual exposure, sensory exploration, and family-friendly techniques, we work towards building confidence and expanding dietary variety in a stress-free way.

Engaging in Daily Routines & Learning

Children learn through doing, but sometimes they need extra support to engage in daily activities, school tasks, and structured routines. Our interventions focus on enhancing participation in play, learning, and everyday responsibilities, helping children develop focus, independence, and problem-solving abilities.

Self-Care Skills

From toileting and sleep routines to grooming and dressing, self-care is a critical part of growing independence. We equip children with age-appropriate strategies to develop confidence in everyday tasks, using adaptations and individualized support plans to make self-care more manageable and empowering.

Parent Coaching

We believe that caregivers play a vital role in supporting development, which is why we offer parent coaching sessions designed to provide practical strategies for co-regulation, play-based learning, sensory processing, and emotional support. Our goal is to empower families with tools, confidence, and knowledge to help children thrive in daily life.

Home, School & Childcare Visits

Consistency across environments is key to success, and we offer in-person support in all the places where your child learns and grows. Whether it’s home, school, or childcare settings, we collaborate with caregivers, teachers, and professionals to ensure continuity, structured support, and a tailored approach that meets your child's needs.
