Therapy in Schools and School Visits
Kool KATTS Therapists in Schools
Access to therapy within the learning environment is critical in ensuring children who cannot attend face-to-face sessions at our clinic, or online are able to receive much needed services.
.This also allows us to work closely and collaboratively with your child’s school, ensuring success in this environment. We endeavour to build collaboration and communication with your child’s teachers and educators to ensure the best possible care for your child.
We offer the following services:
- Individual Therapy
- Observational Visits
- Preschool and Kindergarten Screeners
- Educational Workshops for teachers and educators
- University Student projects
- Group Based Therapy
- Participation in learning support meetings
Individual Therapy
Kool KATTS offers in school therapy for children around the Parramatta area. Please check with your child’s school to see if they allow therapists to provide therapy at school. We’ll do our best to arrange a day/time that suits their individual learning.
Observational Consultation Visits
If you child is struggling at school, preschool or daycare, Kool KATTS can provide a one-off Observational Consultation visits. These visits are designed to for our clinicians to observe your child in their natural environment and discuss with your child’s teacher/educator to determine how best to support your child.
Occupational Therapy screeners
The purpose of the preschool/kindy screening is to assess the developmental level of a child’s or children’s abilities and also to identify any possible difficulties which may require additional attention to better support them to keep up with their peers.
Speech Pathology screener
A screener only takes around 30 minutes and aims to identify whether your child’s communication development is on track or if they need additional support in some areas. During the screener, your child will complete a few different activities to demonstrate their skills in the identified concern areas.
Group Based Therapy
Our Kool KATTS clinicians run group based therapy in a number of schools in the area. We run motor based programs, social groups and handwriting groups. Let us know if your child’s school would be interested in hosting a Kool KATTS group
