Kids Matters Occupational Therapy

We are passionate about helping children reach their potential.

Our team of experienced and highly trained Paediatric OTs in Yeerongpilly, Aspley, and Highgate Hill, give you hope and confidence as you see your child overcome their challenges.

Our team of experienced and highly trained Paediatric OTs in Yeerongpilly, Aspley, and Highgate Hill, give you hope and confidence as you see your child overcome their challenges. We help kids with everyday life activities like making friends, exploring and trying new things, playing, being brave, being calm when things are hard, reading, writing, spelling, doing what they’re asked and motor skills. For parents, we help you understand your children, cope better and know how to help them overcome their challenges.

We help children, age 0 – 18 years, achieve what’s important to them and learn how to get past their difficulties. We offer this through in-clinic therapy, telehealth and mobile (community visiting) OT. We look after kids with:
- sensory processing issues
- autism
- dyslexia and learning difficulties
- attention deficit disorder
- developmental delays
- dyspraxia and motor planning issues
- down syndrome
- all other syndromes, disabilities and difficulties
- handwriting and fine motor issues
- gross motor skills
- self-care skills including dressing, feeding, toileting
- other functional issues

We also offer a variety of other services like Cogmed, Circle of Security Parenting, online parenting courses and webinars, Lego Club and products.

✨ We’re excited to share a new sensory-regulation tool now available in our Kids Matters OT clinic shops... Purrfy, the therapeutic device that mimics the exact frequency of a cat’s calming purr. ✨

Many of our families have already seen (or tried!) Purrfy in clinic, as we were fortunate to be involved in supporting its research and development. The feedback from children and parents has been incredible, especially for soothing anxiety, helping with emotional regulation, and supporting smoother bedtime routines.

Why our therapists love Purrfy:
🐈 The purring frequency helps regulate the nervous system
🌬️ Encourages slower, deeper breathing
🌙 Includes additional sleep sounds for children who struggle to switch off
💡 Has a soft nightlight, making it a comforting bedtime companion
😌 Great for sensory seekers and children needing grounding input

We now have very limited stock (1–2 per clinic) available for families who have tried Purrfy and benefited. Preorders are welcome if you’d like to secure one.

Pricing:
🔹 Purrfy (blue) — $167
🌈 Purrfy Bundle (Purrfy + 4 coloured skins) — $228

If your child found Purrfy calming during sessions, feel free to chat with your therapist or reception team about availability. 💛

We love using our quieter moments to our advantage! During slower periods, we come together as a team to plan, reflect, and strategise for what’s ahead. Over the coming weeks, we’re placing a big focus on team connection with strategy sessions to refine our scope and goals. And of course, being Kids Matters, there’s always a little pep-me-up with snacks! 🍴
