Hello Rainbow is a multi disciplinary service offering speech and occupational therapy in an early intervention environment for children. Hello Rainbow offers a mobile service, enabling therapy in your home. Most children are comfortable and receptive in their home environment. This often means that they’re in a great frame of mind to bond with our therapists and engage in meaningful play and communication. We are a neuro-affirming practice. This means that we strongly believe that all children view and communicate with the world around them differently. These differences are not deficits, or something that needs to be fixed. Your child is a unique and wonderful little person. Our passionate therapists work with your child’s strengths, interests and abilities to build their confidence and help them reach their goals. We believe that a holistic approach to early intervention brings the best outcomes. We work collaboratively with early childhood specialists, both in house and externally. Our therapists are experienced, dedicated and work under a therapy first framework.
