About us
POTential for Kids is an Occupational Therapy service for children aged 0 - 15 years. We offer a flexible, collaborative, child and family centred approach, to help children and their families achieve their potential.
​
The main aim of Occupational Therapy with children is to promote optimal participation in their childhood "occupations." These include playing, socialising, learning, managing self-care tasks, adapting positively to life's challenges and engaging in activities that brings joy and meaning into their daily life.
We believe all children should be supported to achieve their potential and experience wellbeing across the lifespan.
Our Therapy Approach
At pOTential for Kids, we embrace a neuro-affirming and strengths-based approach to support children's development. We utilise up-to-date evidence-based practices to enhance self-regulation and social skills, which are vital for daily life and emotional well-being. We believe that the well-being of a child flourishes in a supportive family environment, echoing the sentiment that it takes a village to raise a child. We are dedicated to helping children develop the skills they need to thrive and reach their full potential and supporting parents in the process. Our diverse range of services is tailored to meet the unique needs of each child, while uplifting and empowering parents to confidently manage their children's needs in a positive way. Robyn's favourite quote is"Children will, when they can!" by Dr. Ross Green, which reiterates our therapy approach.
