Therapy Assistant Program
About Therapy Assistants
Our Therapy Assistants are here to help your child practice and use the skills they learn during therapy sessions in places where they’ll make the biggest difference – like at home, in their care setting, or at school.
Our Therapy Assistants are all studying university-level degrees in fields like Speech Pathology, Occupational Therapy, Psychology, Music Therapy, and more. They work closely with our qualified therapists and get regular training and supervision to ensure they provide high quality service and support.
How can working with a Therapy Assistant benefit your child?
- Increased access to therapy services: If your child is on a waitlist to see a therapist, a therapy assistant can step in to offer support and service promptly.
- More support: Having a therapy assistant means your child can access therapeutic services and support more often, which can speed up progress toward their goals.
- Generalisation of skills: With a therapy assistant, your child can practise their skills in new places and situations, helping them use what they’ve learned in real-life settings.
- Cost-effective support: Therapy assistant services can be more affordable than working with a therapist directly, especially if your child needs frequent support.
