Sprout Occupational Therapy Mornington has extensive experience in supporting children with special needs to maximise their physical, social, and emotional learning potential.
We are excited to share that Sprout is now partnering with Everyday Independence.
Find out what this means for you.
We aim to make meaningful connections with children, their families, and their teachers to enable the child to achieve their goals by providing quality, innovative occupational therapy services. Sprout is based in Mornington, Victoria.
We are unique because:
- We work as a team with the child, the family and all the people relevant to the child’s development and progress.
- We make it fun – the most effective way of engaging a child in therapy is to make it fun.
- We look at the child as a whole. It means looking not just at skills but their relationships with their family and peers and what has meaning to them.
- We work with the child in the environments that they need the help – home, school, kinder, child care, our clinic.
