OakTree OT brings personalized paediatric occupational therapy to your doorstep. Based in Blackwood, South Australia, we support children aged 2–15 across Southern Adelaide and the Adelaide Hills. Our mobile service means therapy happens where your child feels most at ease – in the familiar surroundings of home, school, or early learning centres. This makes therapy more convenient and comfortable, helping your child learn and grow in a natural setting.
Who We Support
- Autistic individuals
- Sensory processing differences (for example, sensitivities to textures, sounds, or movement)
- Anxiety and emotional regulation challenges
- Executive functioning issues (difficulties with focus, planning, or organising tasks)
- ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder)
- Down syndrome
- Developmental delays and learning differences
- Interoception-related challenges (difficulty sensing internal body cues like hunger, thirst or emotions)
Our Approach
Our approach is neuro-affirming, relationship-based, and play-focused. We celebrate your child’s unique strengths and differences rather than trying to fit them into a mold. By building a trusting, supportive connection with your child and incorporating fun, engaging activities, we make therapy feel safe and enjoyable. Through play, we keep children motivated and help them practice real-life skills. We focus on meaningful outcomes – skills and confidence that carry over into everyday life, like getting dressed independently or managing big feelings.
Key Features of Our Approach
- Neuro-affirming: We embrace neurodiversity and work with each child’s natural way of learning.
- Relationship-based: We build trust and confidence by connecting with your child and family.
- Play-focused: We use creative, fun activities to keep therapy engaging and motivating.
- Goal-oriented: We tie therapy activities to real-life goals for meaningful progress.
