Our No Limits Therapy Intensive Program is designed to support participants in developing meaningful skills through immersive, goal-oriented experiences in nature-based and group settings.

No Limits is tailored to individual goals, such as:
- Increasing sustained engagement in activities
- Identifying personal regulation tools
- Completing multi-step motor sequences
- Recognising and discussing body sensations and feelings
- Communicating needs and preferences with growing independence
- Collaborating in group problem-solving tasks
- Following instructions with reduced support

These programs offer a unique opportunity to build confidence, strengthen communication, and foster independence—all while having fun and connecting with others.

Happy OT week everyone!

I have had the most amazing time volunteering as an Occupational Therapist at Safe Haven Medical Outreach in Cambodia for the last 3 weeks!!!!!! What a life changing experience and a wondeful group of people! A great way to celebrate OT week.

Cambodia does not have an OT school, and are reliant on volunteers to build therapeutic skills within their Interventionist teams. It was been wonderful grounding myself in the models of OT and applying them in this setting.

✨ Celebrating OT Week ✨
This week, we asked April, our Early Childhood Practitioner, what she values most about working with OTs.

27/10/2025

✨ It’s Occupational Therapy Week! ✨
We asked our team what makes working with OTs inspiring, and Declan shared how OTs’ empathy and understanding not only impact clients but also inspire those around them.
We’re proud to celebrate our OTs and the difference they make every day!

IKAA is proud to support the Polished Man Campaign this October.

Polished Man raises vital funds and awareness to help prevent violence against women and children. The statistics are heartbreaking: 1 in 7 Australians have experienced childhood abuse, and 1 woman is killed every 4 days.

If you're able to contribute, your donation will go toward an incredibly worthy cause. If financial support isn’t possible, we’d be grateful if you could help spread the word about the powerful work Polished Man is doing. Together, we can help change these devastating numbers.

Join us in making a difference 💙
