Our team of experienced and highly trained Paediatric OTs in Yeerongpilly, Aspley, and Highgate Hill, give you hope and confidence as you see your child overcome their challenges. We help kids with everyday life activities like making friends, exploring and trying new things, playing, being brave, being calm when things are hard, reading, writing, spelling, doing what they’re asked and motor skills. For parents, we help you understand your children, cope better and know how to help them overcome their challenges.

We help children, age 0 – 18 years, achieve what’s important to them and learn how to get past their difficulties. We offer this through in-clinic therapy, telehealth and mobile (community visiting) OT. We look after kids with:
- sensory processing issues
- autism
- dyslexia and learning difficulties
- attention deficit disorder
- developmental delays
- dyspraxia and motor planning issues
- down syndrome
- all other syndromes, disabilities and difficulties
- handwriting and fine motor issues
- gross motor skills
- self-care skills including dressing, feeding, toileting
- other functional issues

We also offer a variety of other services like Cogmed, Circle of Security Parenting, online parenting courses and webinars, Lego Club and products.

The public holiday today marks the end of school holidays... Term 4 kicks off tomorrow! 🏫

For many kids (and parents!), it can feel like a sprint to the finish line. Energy dips, emotions rise, and routines can wobble.

Here are a few quick tips to help your child through the final stretch:
🌀 Keep routines simple and predictable
😴 Prioritise rest and downtime
🌟 Celebrate effort, not just outcomes
💬 Stay connected with cuddles and calm chats

Let’s colour this term with calm, connection, and support 💛

✨ Last week, we officially opened our beautiful new Aspley space! ✨

Here’s a peek at how the rooms and gyms are currently set up, though you might see things evolve over time. We’ll keep sharing updates with you as the space grows and changes.

You’ll find our reception area at the front of the building, accessible from our carpark entrance via Eustace Street. Look out for the signs to help guide you!

We’re so excited to welcome you into our new home — if you haven’t visited yet, we can’t wait to see you soon! 🏡

Struggling with your child’s distractibility, impulsivity, or emotional outbursts?

It could be linked to executive function challenges, the brain’s system for planning, regulating, and getting things done.

Our free guide breaks it down in clear, simple language: what executive function is, how it shows up in kids, and what you can do to help.

On Tuesday, we gathered for our final team meeting of the year, and what a way to wrap things up! 🌿✨
With the theme “Refresh and Spring Forward,” we took time to reflect on the year that’s been, check in on our goals, and refocus for the “uphill ride” into the final stretch of 2025.

Of course, it wouldn’t be a Kids Matters OT meeting without a bit of fun!
We recharged with some playful team-building activities, including:
🧩 Jenga with a twist
✏️ Pictionary
🥄 Spoon Savers and Thieves
➖ And a moment to acknowledge and accept our negative feelings

Here’s to finishing strong and stepping into the new season with clarity, connection, and purpose! 🌸

💛 R U OK? Day 💛
Yesterday, our Highgate Hill team came together to celebrate connection, kindness, and mental wellbeing.
With yellow ribbons, a wellness board full of gentle reminders, and heartfelt check-ins, the importance of asking “Are you OK?” and truly listening, was honoured.
Because a conversation can change a life 💬💛
Let’s keep the conversation going, every day.

🧠 Executive function is like the brain’s management system, it helps kids plan, focus, regulate emotions, and get things done.

But when these skills are still developing (or delayed), everyday tasks like getting ready, following instructions, or managing big feelings can feel overwhelming.

💡 Our free guide helps you understand what executive function difficulties look like, why they matter, and how you can support your child in practical, compassionate ways.
