What is Telehealth & why choose it for OT?
Telehealth uses video or phone to deliver health care where one or more of the participants are separated by distance. This means that we can provide Occupational Therapy to locations where services are limited.
You can access a highly skilled and experienced Occupational Therapist including a range of services; assessments, direct therapy with your child, parent consultations, home programs and more, all from your home.
Our Telehealth sessions provide a combination of a treatment and consultative model including resources to support you and your child. We are currenting providing Occupational Therapy to clients in Cloncurry, Parkinson, Texas, Toowoomba and Palau.

Treatment sessions: We focus on coaching parents and kids on exercises and strategies to overcome difficulties.
Development of home program: A program that supports your child to achieve their goals within their natural environments.
Home or community visits: We aim to come and visit you in your home or community at least once per year.
