Here’s what we offer

Occupational Therapy

At Ali Murch OT our therapists design fun and engaging sessions individualised to your child’s needs, which help them meet their goals and thrive in their everyday activities. We are primarily a clinic based service and with your permission, can collaborate with your child’s educators, medical team and other providers to achieve the best possible outcomes.

Holiday Groups

We offer a variety of groups during school holiday periods. These groups are an opportunity for children to practise their social skills and meet new people in a fun and supportive environment.

We offer groups to suit a range of interests including arts and crafts, cooking, science experiments, board games, morning tea outings and nature play offsite at the Barossa Bushgardens. They are designed so that children can experience working in a team, turn taking & sharing, fine and gross motor skills.

Allied Health Assistance

Our Allied health assistants (AHA) provide support to clients under the guidance of our OT’s, running programs focusing on such things as gross and fine motor skills.

It can be a cost effective way to access more regular services, in conjunction with your OT services.  The OT and AHA will meet on a regular basis to monitor your child’s progress and uptake their program.

Please get in touch to discuss whether this service will be appropriate for you.
