ABOUT US
At Kickstart Kids Therapy, we focus on therapy for children and young people that identifies and treats not only the presenting issues but the underlying causes for each child.
​
We like to use an integrated occupational therapy, speech pathology, and physiotherapy approach with our highly skilled and experienced team to optimise the results of intervention.
​
We work with the child and the family to develop effective strategies to better support their child and provide guidance on how to best incorporate home-based activities into the family’s daily routine.
Our ability to draw from a variety of intervention approaches ensures that all sessions are unique to each individual child.
​
We focus on the treatment of children with Sensory Processing Disorder, developmental delays, learning difficulties, Dyspraxia (DCD), Dyslexia, ADHD, and Autism.
​
We are approved providers for NDIS services.
