We have been guided by psychology design principles that reflect the latest clinical research to create a space that promotes optimal wellbeing. Through the architecture, colours, materials, artwork and lighting, no stone has been left unturned. There are spaces that calm the nervous system, others that support attention and focus.
Our therapists support children from birth through to their early twenties. We utilise innovative, neurodiversity-affirming and evidenced-based approaches to support children to build on their strengths and bridge the gaps in their development. This offers diversity within the caseload from diagnosis, assessment, and therapy intervention planning. The tailored therapy pathways allow therapists to complete off-site visits to gain a holistic view of supporting each child’s needs. We offer a range of project streams to meet therapist interest areas and opportunities to further develop their craft and meet the needs of our families.
Motivate Kids offer Internships for graduating therapists to kick start their career within paediatrics. Interns then move into our Graduate Program once registered with AHPRA which offers tailored supervision and learning opportunities to meet each therapist’s learning style. Career goals are set annually and reflected upon within mentoring sessions to ensure optimal growth and development. Our Senior Therapists lead a variety of pathways such as Functional Capacity Assessments, Emali Partnership, School Visit Assessments, Group Work and much more.
Our Clinical Framework is a tailored system to support Occupational Therapists to enhance and develop their clinical competencies and ties into our overall learning and development approach, Clinical Supervision Framework and succession planning at Motivate kids.
