School Services
Kid Link Occupational Therapists are proud to offer a range of school group services including presentations, workshop packages, group therapy programs, consultations and more. Read below to find out how we can support your school.
Presentations
We offer a range of presentations exploring different topics. In addition to our popular ‘Road to Regulation’ Series, we can prepare custom presentations for school groups on request.
Self-Regulation Topics:
How to pave the way for success: Moving past reactive to proactive when supporting challenging behaviours
Sensory processing: Successfully preparing bodies and brains for learning
Emotional regulation: Supporting students to manage tricky emotions
Social learning: Supporting social inclusion and success
Executive functioning and self-management: Building independence, regulation and problem solving within everyday activities
Workshop Packages
We also offer presentation and workshop packages to provide an opportunity to further deepen learning and develop an applied understanding of concepts specific to your school setting.
This package allows for a targeted, therapist facilitated workshop to be completed in the weeks following a webinar. The workshop session/s allow for a thorough exploration of questions, and opportunities for schools to personalise their learning through the use of their own student case studies.
Group Therapy Programs
We offer customised group therapy programs in person within the school environment or via Zoom. We encourage staff to attend our group sessions as a learning opportunity.
Skill areas that can be addressed during a group therapy program include; handwriting, social skills and working with others, emotional regulation, executive functioning and study skills, and confidence and resilience.
Student Consultations
We offer individualised support for students who are demonstrating challenges participating within the classroom or playground environments. In liaison with families and schools, we are able to facilitate a holistic approach and work as a collaborative part of the students’ support team to assist students of all ages.
Our focus is on optimising student participation within the school environment through identifying lagging skill areas, supporting teachers and learning staff, providing practical strategies to facilitate engagement, and supporting inclusion of child-centred therapeutic strategies in a student’s Individual Learning Plan.
Kid Link Occupational Therapy are also able to offer additional consultation services following the provision of webinars or student consultations. These services can be discussed in further detail by contacting the Family Liaison Team.
