Early Intervention Occupational Therapy (0–9 Years)

Our Occupational Therapists have extensive experience providing Early Intervention OT for babies and children aged 0–9 years.

Early intervention focuses on:

  • building foundational skills

  • supporting participation in daily routines

  • strengthening family capacity

  • addressing challenges early, when support can have the greatest impact

Early support is tailored, strengths-based, and embedded into everyday environments wherever possible.

Assistive Technology & Equipment Support

Kids + Co.Lab therapists are experienced Assistive Technology Assessors, supporting children who require equipment to improve mobility, independence, and participation. We do more than just script equipment, we guide you and your family through the process, from idea or issue to solution and success!

We assist with:

  • equipment assessment and trials

  • functional justification and reporting

  • NDIS Assistive Technology documentation

  • collaboration with suppliers and funding bodies

Our approach ensures equipment recommendations are practical, child-centred, and aligned with everyday goals.
