Telehealth Services
Flexible Paediatric Telehealth Services
Accessing quality paediatric occupational therapy should be simple, convenient, and stress-free. At LOTS4KIDS OT Service, our secure telehealth sessions bring professional paediatric care directly into your home, ensuring children and families receive uninterrupted developmental support no matter where they live.
Why Choose Telehealth for Occupational Therapy?
Telehealth provides a highly effective, flexible alternative to clinic or mobile visits. It allows your child to practise functional skills using their own toys, furniture, and daily routines—the exact environments where they need these skills the most.
Whether you live in a regional area, manage busy school and work schedules, or prefer therapy from the comfort of home, our interactive online sessions provide continuous, goal-focused developmental care.
What We Offer via Telehealth
Individual Paediatric Therapy
Engaging, one-on-one sessions where our registered therapists use creative visual cues, interactive games, and structured activities to target fine motor skills, self-regulation, and everyday task independence.
Practical Parent Coaching
Dedicated sessions that empower parents and carers with real-time coaching, behavioural strategies, sensory regulation tools, and practical home adaptations to support your child between appointments.
Multidisciplinary Care Meetings
Collaborative virtual meetings with your child’s broader care network—including speech pathologists, psychologists, paediatricians, educators, and support coordinators—to ensure consistent strategies across every setting.

Our therapists guide your child through playful, structured activities while simultaneously coaching you on cues, hand-over-hand support, and positive reinforcement.
