Our services
All our services can be run face-to-face and have also been adapted to be implemented online
Emotional Regulation Program
This intervention is based on Dr Julie Brown’s Dialectical Behavioural Therapy informed program for clients with an intellectual impairment. The intervention can be run 1:1 with the client and can also include the support workers and family members to teach and implement different strategies to identify, communicate, and address difficulties with Emotional Regulation. At the current time, this intervention is developed for children, adolescents and adults who are verbal and can engage in written material. The intervention includes:
An initial assessment to identify what the client’s specific interests and goals are for the program and unique learning styles, neurodiversity and capacities.
Individualised resources, games and handouts are developed based on the client’s learning needs and interests to help prompt remembering and using the different skills
Mindfulness strategies to identify warning signs that the client is moving into dysregulation
Safety Plans for the client and support people to use when in high distress and in different environments
Support to communicate distress to different trusted people
Skills to use to enable independent problem solving
Relationship and interpersonal strategies to increase social connections and develop friendships.
Depending on available Occupational Therapy funding, different skills can be added or removed to prioritise addressing key areas.

We can offer Occupational Therapy Functional Capacity Assessments and reports to review current supports and make recommendations on further services in accordance with the client’s goals including Supported Living Assessments and Change of Circumstance Assessments.
Sensory Profile Assessment
We can conduct a Sensory Profile Assessment and report including recommendations for clients with sensory concerns and ways these sensory challenges can be accommodated in different environments including at home, school and work.
