About Newcastle Paediatric Occupational Therapy
Newcastle Paediatric Occupational Therapy provides a nurturing and supportive educational environment, targeted toward children suffering from a psychological, physical or developmental condition. Based in Floraville, we offer specialised treatment that is focused on developing the skills children living with these conditions need, to participate more actively in daily life. In conjunction with assisting children with developmental, psychological and physical conditions to lead happier, healthier lives, we also educate families on how to live with and modify their lives to accommodate the particular condition. The services we offer include paediatric diagnostic assessment, sensory profiling for children with autism, assessment of muscle tone and muscle coordination disorders, neurodevelopmental treatment, handwriting assessment and support for optimising school performance. To perform Newcastle paediatric therapy more effectively we have a fun, dynamic room with a trampoline, rock climbing wall and trapeze. We also tailor our treatment to suit each child, making it fun and interactive. Registered Occupational Therapists and a member of the Australian Association of Occupational Therapists, our practice strives to provide the highest standard of therapy available for children with physical and mental conditions. Contact us today if you have any queries or to arrange an appointment with our paediatric therapy experts. Our team provide a warm and welcoming environment, where your child will feel comfortable. We provide our services throughout Newcastle, Port Stephens and the Lake Macquarie region.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Do Occupational Therapists Do And How Can They Assist My Child?
Occupational therapists work with people to enhance their ability to participate in everyday life activities that they want to, need to, or are expected to do. Paediatric occupational therapists assess and provide treatment for a child if they are having difficulty in any of their activities be it sport, education, leisure or just being a family member.
When Should I Refer My Child To An Occupational Therapist?
If you or anyone involved in the care of your child (e.g. paediatrician, psychologist, preschool, your child's teacher) is concerned about your child's development, or if your child is struggling with learning or everyday activities, you should consider contacting us on 02 4940 6507 and make an appointment for a consultation with Melanie Ward.
