Alternative Day Program

Our Allied Health Services is based in a holistic and client-centered approach that we aim to enhance your ability to participate in daily life, improve overall well-being, and achieve your personal goals. The primary goal of therapy supports is to promote health and well-being by enabling you to participate in the activities that are important to you.

Following an assessment, our speech pathologist and occupational therapists develop individualised treatment plans and interventions. These may include exercises, adaptive techniques, environmental modifications, and other strategies to help you improve your quality of life. However, this may also involve engaging Assistive Technology or equipment to improve one’s independence and quality of life.

1:1 Tailored Program

We conduct thorough Functional Capacity Assessments to evaluate your ability to meet job demands or overall functional capacity. This includes standardised assessments, home observations, caregiver interviews, and comprehensive report writing to support NDIS requirements. This will involve the process of:

• Conducting Standardised Assessments to understand the nature of the condition and their impacts on daily life.

• Clinical observational visits of the individual in their home in specific tasks such as cooking, showering, dressing, domestic chores

• Interview and gathering of information with carers

• Report Writing

The use and recommendation of these Assistive Technology depend on the individual’s specific needs and the nature of their disability.

Sensory Assessments

We use sensory assessments to better understand how a person responds to sensory stimuli from the environment and how these responses may affect their daily functioning and overall well-being.

Sensory assessments can be particularly important for individuals, especially children, who have sensory processing disorders or sensory sensitivities. This service is particularly beneficial for individuals, including children with sensory processing disorders or sensitivities.

The intervention with Sensory Assessments would take into consideration the environment and involve strategies such as:

• Activity Schedule

• Specific sensory tools such as vibrating toothbrushes

• Environmental adjustments such as dimmed lighting, specific seating

• Training with Teachers, Group Home staff or Day program and family
