Children’s Occupational Therapy Services in Adelaide’s Southern Suburbs
Welcome to Tortoise and Hare Health, celebrating every child’s unique development journey…
Occupational therapy is all about helping individuals achieve their fullest potential in all aspects of life. When it comes to children, this therapy plays a pivotal role in ensuring they can perform everyday tasks with ease and confidence, be it at school, at home, or during play.
Let’s get started!
OUR PHILOSOPHY
APPROACH
We start by getting to know your child as a whole person, focusing on what they love and where they shine, not just where they might need a bit of help.
FAMILY
Family is everything. We bring you into the process, making sure you’re involved and confident in supporting your child every step of the way.
TARGETED
We create a plan that’s just for your child. Think of it as a personal roadmap to help them reach their goals and milestones.
REVIEW
We keep an eye on how things are going and adjust as needed. As your child grows and changes, so do our strategies.
FUN
Let’s be real, no one wants something that feels like extra homework. We make therapy enjoyable and playful, turning challenges into fun adventures.
Supporting Children
Children develop skills at their own pace, and sometimes they need a little extra support to master certain tasks. This is where paediatric occupational therapy steps in. By using therapeutic techniques, fun activities, and individualised programs, our experienced occupational therapists can help with:
- Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
- Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
- Emotional Regulation
- Sensory Regulation
- Fine Motor Skills & Handwriting
- Gross Motor Skills
- Activities of Daily Living
- Developmental Delay
- Intellectual Disabilities
Meet our Therapist, Georgia Andrews
As an experienced paediatric occupational therapist based in South Australia, I’m passionate about working with children and their families. I understand that families know their children best, and that’s why I take a collaborative approach to therapy. My goal is to empower children with autonomy and involve families in the therapy process, working towards mutual goals that prioritise your child’s unique needs and strengths.
