Goal-directed therapy sounds clinical, but it's actually the most practical, meaningful approach to occupational therapy there is.

Instead of running generic activities or following a one-size-fits-all program, we start with a simple question:

What does your child actually need to do in their daily life that's currently hard for them?

Every session is designed around your child's specific goals.

We work on what matters to them, in contexts that make sense for their life.

And because the goals are meaningful, progress is motivating.

Your child isn't just "doing therapy”, they're building skills that make their day-to-day life easier, more enjoyable, and more independent.

Goal-directed therapy works because it's personal, practical, and built around what success actually looks like for your child and your family.

Swipe through to see what goal-directed therapy actually focuses on and why it's more effective than generic programs.

Does your child have specific goals they're working toward?

We’d love to know. Drop it in the comment below.

Homeschooling isn't always a choice.
Sometimes it's the only option when your child can't cope with the demands of a traditional classroom.

The sensory overload.
The social pressure.
The rigid structure that doesn't account for how their brain works.
The constant feeling of being overwhelmed, misunderstood, or left behind.

For some children and teens, school isn't just hard, it's unbearable.
And when staying in that environment is causing more harm than good, homeschooling becomes the safer, healthier path forward.

But homeschooling comes with its own challenges.

How do you structure the day?
How do you help your child stay regulated and engaged when they're learning at home?
How do you support their development when they're not accessing the same social and educational opportunities as their peers?

This is where occupational therapy makes a real difference.

We work with homeschooling families to build routines that support regulation, develop strategies for learning at home, address sensory needs that make traditional schooling difficult, and create opportunities for your child to engage in the community in ways that feel safe and manageable.

OT for homeschooling families looks different.
It's about helping your child build the skills they need to learn, participate, and connect with the world on their terms and not forcing them back into an environment that wasn't working.

Every child goes through phases of picky eating.

But there's a difference between typical food preferences and feeding challenges that need professional support.

Many parents spend months or even years trying everything.
Bribing, bargaining, hiding vegetables, making separate meals and still wondering if they're doing something wrong or if their child will eventually "grow out of it."

But feeding difficulties don't always resolve with time.

And when they're rooted in sensory processing differences, oral motor delays, anxiety, or past negative experiences, they often get worse without intervention.

Here are six signs that what you're experiencing isn't just typical picky eating, it's a feeding challenge that would benefit from structured therapy support.

If you recognise three or more of these signs in your child, it's worth reaching out.

Our SOS Feeding Program through Country Connections brings evidence-based feeding therapy directly to families across rural NSW via telehealth, so distance doesn't have to be a barrier to getting help.

Swipe through to see if feeding therapy might be the missing piece your family needs. 👉🏻

22/02/2026

There's this assumption that coping skills just appear as you get older. That by the time someone reaches their teens or early twenties, they should automatically know how to manage anxiety, regulate emotions, and handle life's pressures.

But coping skills aren't age-dependent milestones. They're learned abilities, and not everyone gets the same opportunity to learn them.

Some young people grow up in environments where emotional regulation is modelled and taught. Others don't. Some have autism or ADHD, making emotional regulation inherently harder. Some have been masking and white-knuckling their way through childhood, only to reach young adulthood realising they never actually learned how to cope.

They just learned how to survive.

If your child, teen, or young adult still struggles with big emotions, stress, or everyday challenges, it's not immaturity. It's not a weakness. It's a skill gap. And skill gaps can be addressed at any age.

Our psychology services work with ages 0–25 to build practical, personalised coping tools that actually fit their brain, their circumstances, and their goals.

We're expanding our supports to include psychological services and would love to hear from you. Complete an Expression of Interest so we can plan for a seamless onboarding when the service launches.

One of the most painful things parents notice after their child's brain injury isn't the physical recovery…

It's the social withdrawal.

Your once outgoing teenager or young adult suddenly avoids friends.

They stop responding to messages.
They refuse invitations.
They seem content to stay home, alone, when they used to thrive in social settings.

And it's easy to assume they're depressed, unmotivated, or giving up.

But what's actually happening is far more complex and deeply rooted in how brain injury changes the way your child experiences the world around them.

Social withdrawal after brain injury isn't about personality change or loss of interest.

It's a protective response to neurological changes that make social environments genuinely exhausting, confusing, and sometimes frightening.

At Grace Therapy, our brain injury rehabilitation program works with children, teens, and young adults recovering from traumatic brain injuries, acquired brain injuries, concussions, and neurological events.

We don't just address physical and cognitive recovery, we support the social and emotional reintegration that makes life feel meaningful again.

Because understanding why your child has withdrawn is the first step toward helping them re-engage safely, comfortably, and at their own pace.

Is your child or teen withdrawing socially after a brain injury?

When your child needs a wheelchair, you want answers fast. We get it.

But here's what rushing costs…

- Pressure sores from incorrect seat depth
- Breathing difficulties from poor trunk positioning
- Skin breakdown from wrong width measurements, and
- Equipment that doesn't actually fit through your home or school doorways.

A wheelchair is a clinical prescription that directly impacts your child's health, safety, and ability to participate in life.

We don't rush.

Our wheelchair assessments involve multiple sessions, equipment trials in real environments, collaboration with your entire support team, precise measurements accounting for growth, and detailed NDIS funding reports that get it right the first time.

We assess posture, skin integrity, muscle tone, transfer needs, environmental access, and how your child actually moves through their day.

Then we trial the equipment before prescribing it.

Because being thorough isn't slow. It's safe.

Most people think occupational therapy is about helping kids reach developmental milestones like walking, talking, writing, and playing.

And yes, that's part of it.

But some of the most critical work we do happens in the transitions.

Those in-between moments when everything familiar shifts and your child has to adapt to an entirely new set of expectations, environments, and social rules.

Primary to high school.
High school to adulthood.
Dependence to independence.
Changes to location.
Transitions between tasks.

Starting high school means navigating multiple teachers, unstructured lunch breaks, lockers, timetables, social hierarchies, and sensory chaos in crowded hallways.

Primary school provides structure, predictability, and a single teacher who knows your child well.

High school removes all of that safety and expects independence overnight.

Leaving school means losing structure, routine, and a clear path forward.

Suddenly, your young adult is expected to manage life admin, navigate public transport, pursue employment, and make decisions without constant guidance.

For young adults with autism, ADHD, or brain injuries, the loss of school-based support can feel like jumping without a parachute.

Moving from dependence to independence isn't one moment; it's the gradual process of your child learning to do things without you.

And transition support isn't a one-off session before the big change.

It's ongoing work that walks them through it, building organisational systems, self-advocacy skills, and the confidence to navigate unfamiliar environments.

Which transition feels most overwhelming for your family right now? Drop a comment and let's talk about it.

There's a common misconception that occupational therapy only happens in purpose-built sensory gyms with swings, climbing walls, and specialty equipment.

But some of the most meaningful therapy happens in the places where your child actually lives their life: at home, at school, in the community.

Personalised OT visits aren't about recreating a clinic in your living room.

They're about understanding your child in their real environment, where the actual challenges show up.

Where you're trying to get them dressed for school.

Where homework battles happen at the kitchen table. Where getting out the door to the shops feels impossible.

Here's what personalised visits really look like and what they're designed to achieve.

Watch the video to see the difference between what you might expect and what actually happens.

Our occupational therapists travel across the Sydney Hills District and surrounding areas to provide home visits, school visits, preschool observations, and community-based sessions.

Because sometimes, the most effective therapy is the kind that fits into your child's real world. Grace Children’s Therapy provides a range of options from clinic based therapy services to school and community visits to meet the needs of your child.

If your child struggles in specific environments, a personalised visit might give you the insights and strategies you've been missing.

When your child refuses to eat, it's easy to focus on the nutrition they're missing.

But feeding challenges often run much deeper than what's on the plate.

For many children, mealtimes involve complex sensory experiences, emotional responses, and developmental skills that most of us take for granted.

The texture of mashed potatoes.
The sound of crunching.
The smell of something new.
The pressure of trying unfamiliar foods.

All of these can feel overwhelming for some kids. 💔

Behind every feeding struggle are four interconnected layers that most parents don't realise are at play.

Swipe through to discover what's really happening when your child refuses to eat. 👉🏻
If your child struggles with mealtimes, you're not alone. Many families across rural NSW face these challenges, often without access to specialised support nearby.

Our Country Connections telehealth program brings the evidence-based SOS Feeding approach directly to your home, no matter where you're located across NSW.

Through video sessions, we work with you and your child to understand their unique feeding profile and build positive mealtime experiences step by step.

Feeding therapy isn't about forcing food.

It's about understanding why eating feels hard for your child and giving them the tools, confidence, and comfort to explore food at their own pace.

Is feeding a daily struggle in your home? You don't have to navigate this alone.

Therapy doesn't have to happen within four walls.

At Grace Children's Therapy, we meet families where life actually happens. Because the skills your child needs aren't just for the clinic room, they're for the real world.

Our therapists can work with you:
🏡 At home - building morning routines in your actual kitchen
🏫 At school - navigating playground challenges where they happen
🛒 In the community - practising shopping skills at Woolies

When therapy happens in the environment where your child needs support, progress becomes practical. Skills become functional. Goals become real.

We blend clinic sessions with in-home and community visits, giving you flexibility without losing focus on what matters: helping your child thrive in their everyday life.

Because the goal isn't just skill-building. It's confidence in the places that count.
