Big feelings do not mean a child is “too much” or “naughty”. Our OT team works with kids, teens and adults to notice body clues, find safe ways to move through overwhelm and build everyday strategies that work at home, kinder, school and in the community.

If this looks familiar, you are not alone – what helps your child feel safe again after a big feeling?

Eating should feel safe and enjoyable, not stressful or scary. 🥣 Our speech pathologists support people with swallowing changes to find ways of eating and drinking that protect safety while still keeping favourite foods, culture and connection on the menu as much as possible.

If swallowing has changed things for you or someone you love, what food would you love to feel more comfortable enjoying again? 🍉💬

Walking through our doors should feel a bit like exhaling. 💛
At Tandem we want every family, every body and every brain to feel welcome, seen and included from the moment you arrive (or log on). This is your space as much as ours.

If you or your child could design the “perfect” therapy space, what would it have in it – swings, snacks, quiet corners, something else? 🛋️✨

Kids grow. Equipment should grow with them. 🌱
Our physios and OTs work together to find gear that actually fits your child’s body, goals and everyday life, not just what is on the shelf. We can help with trials, hire and figuring out what will work long term.

👉 If your child could change one thing about their current equipment, what would it be?

Communication is a human right, full stop. 💬
Whether someone uses speech, a device, pictures, signs or a mix of all of these, our speechies and OTs are here to back them up and make sure their voice is heard in every setting.

🧡 Does someone in your life use AAC? What helps the people around them be better communication partners?

Movement looks different for everyone. For some people it is walking the dog or getting to the letterbox, for others it is jogging with a friend. Our physio team works alongside you to find movement that feels safe, achievable and meaningful in your everyday life.

This is one of our favourite spaces at Tandem. Kids see a colourful obstacle course. Our OT and physio team see balance, strength, coordination and confidence all rolled into one playful session. Our speech team see an opportunity to follow instructions and build vocabulary, words like "on", "under", "next to".

Every step, climb and crawl is practising skills they need for everyday life at home, kinder and school.

What do you think your child would name this obstacle course? Floor is lava? The 67 course?

We put a lot of thought into making our space feel calm and comfortable for everyone that walks through our clinic doors or join us online. We want it to feel like a place that anyone can feel comfortable.

We are a neuroaffirming allied health practice that supports people of all ages, abilities and sensory differences, and we work hard to make sure everyone feels understood and welcomed.

Our team use creative therapy approaches and we offer flexible options so people can access support in ways that actually fit their life. And if we are not the right service for something, we help connect people with the ones who are.

We want to be a steady, supportive place that people can come to and feel cared for. Visit our website to find out how we can help you.
