Welcome to Playful Pathways Therapy, where we bring paediatric occupational therapy services directly to you!
Supporting children and their families in North Brisbane, we offer individualised, relationship-based care that embraces neurodiversity, focuses on strengths and interests, and is rooted in evidence-based practices.
Whether at home, school, in the community, or through telehealth, we work closely with families, educators, and fellow healthcare professionals to ensure the best outcomes for every child.
Hi, my name is Georgia and I am an occupational therapist with over 12 years experience working across a range of services including non-for-profit organisations, education, private practice and early intervention. I have extensive experience working with neurodivergent children and their families to achieve functional outcomes in meaningful occupations across their environments. My aim is to empower and support children and their families to thrive through connection, partnership and play.
I am also a mum to two young girls, giving me firsthand experience in juggling family life and work commitments while supporting my girls to become the best versions of themselves. I deeply appreciate the complexities families face and the importance of providing support and strategies that seamlessly integrate into their current routines and lifestyles. Raising my own children has profoundly shaped my family-centered and strength-based approach, focusing on harnessing the unique strengths of each child and family to minimise challenges in everyday activities.
Outside of work I enjoy spending time with my family, travelling, going to the beach, reformer Pilates and coffee!
Assessments may involve identifying your child's strengths, differences and areas of support, information sharing, and completing standardised assessments and clinical observations.
Therapy sessions are designed to meet the unique needs of each child and their family. Our team works closely with parents and our young people to develop tailored goals and treatment plans.
We offer tailored parent coaching and personal development designed to support parents, teachers and educators in enhancing their understanding and skills to better serve children's developmental needs.
We offer individual clinical supervision to graduate and early career occupational therapists within Australia. These sessions are typically 60min in duration and offered online.
Self-care tasks encompass activities such as toileting, bathing, dressing, eating, and maintaining personal hygiene, essential for daily independence and well-being.
Play is the means through which children make sense of their world and learns. Play skills are vital for children as they foster creativity, social interaction, cognitive development, and emotional resilience.
Gross motor skills involve large movements of the body, such as running and jumping, while fine motor skills refer to precise movements of the hands and fingers, crucial for tasks like writing and manipulating objects.
Social and emotional development encompasses the ability to form relationships, regulate emotions, and understand others' perspectives, crucial for healthy interpersonal interactions and overall well-being.
Sensory processing refers to how the nervous system receives and responds to sensory information from the environment, influencing a child's ability to participate effectively in daily activities.
School readiness involves preparing children with essential cognitive, social, emotional, and physical skills, including attention and concentration, writing abilities, and the capacity to sit and participate actively in classroom activities, fostering their readiness for learning and academic success.
We provide services to self-managed and plan-managed NDIS participants. We are not currently a registered NDIS provider.
You can receive Medicare rebates for occupational therapy sessions by utilising either a Chronic Disease Management Plan (CDMP) or the Helping Children with Autism program. To access these rebates, consult your GP or Paediatrician. Please be aware that Medicare rebates do not cover the full session fee, so there will be some out-of-pocket expenses associated with therapy under these schemes.
If you have private health insurance, you might qualify for a rebate from your insurer for occupational therapy sessions. To find out if you're eligible, please get in touch with your private health insurer. It's important to keep in mind that the rebates offered by your insurer may not cover the full session fee, so there may be out-of-pocket expenses if you choose to access therapy through this route.
