We’ve seen a few families recently asking about OT availability, so I wanted to share that we currently have appointments available at Jelm Allied Health.

We work with children and young people aged 2–25 and take a neuro-affirming, strengths-based approach to support.

Clinic and mobile appointments available (location dependent).

Please feel free to message or share with someone who may need support.

🍪✨ A little glimpse into our biscuit-decorating fun from Saturday Groups! ✨🍪

This weekend was all about creativity, connection and a whole lot of sprinkles. The kids jumped straight into baking and decorating working together, helping each other, getting messy and proudly creating their own colourful masterpieces.
Nothing beats seeing their confidence grow through hands-on fun. 💛

And… psst 👀
If you loved this, just wait until our January Holiday Groups next year they’re going to be even bigger, brighter and full of so many activities!

✨ Happy OT Week! ✨

Occupational Therapy is more than just building skills — it’s about being seen, supported, and empowered to live life in a way that’s meaningful to you. 💛

Whether it’s helping children gain confidence, supporting families through challenges, or finding new ways to do everyday things — OT is about connection, growth, and celebrating every little step forward. 🌿

Here’s to the people, moments, and milestones that make OT so special. 💫
