Occupational Therapy Assistants

Compliment Your Child's Current Therapy with Our OTA Program

Convenient | Affordable | Flexible

Dear Families,

We're excited to introduce a new enhancement to our therapy services at Paediatric Potentials OT — the Occupational Therapy Assistant (OTA) program. This program is designed to provide additional support and reinforce the skills developed in your child's regular occupational therapy sessions.

Why Consider Our OTA Program?

  1. Enhanced Skill Practice: The OTA program offers more frequent practice of skills learned during regular OT sessions, helping to solidify gains and accelerate progress.
  2. Convenient and Flexible: Sessions will be conducted at our clinic in Upper Mount Gravatt.
  3. Professionally Planned & Delivered: All sessions are implemented by either a 3rd or 4th year Occupational Therapy student and Therapy Plans are crafted by our experienced OTs to maintain the highest quality of care.

Session Details

  • Affordable Options: Choose from 45-minute sessions for $145 or 90-minute sessions for $290.
  • Inclusive of: Each session fee not only covers the OTA’s preparation and direct therapy time, but also the detailed planning by our experienced occupational therapists to tailor each session specifically for your child’s needs. Additionally, it includes the time spent by the OTA on post-session documentation to record treatment details, ensuring ongoing quality of care and adjustments as needed.

A Complement to Current Therapy

The OTA program is designed to be an additional resource that works alongside the therapy plan you’ve established with your child's primary OT. It's a great way to enhance and accelerate skill development in a supportive, cost-effective manner.
