Here are 5 signs your child may benefit from support from an Allied Health Assistant (AHA):
Needs extra help to follow therapy plans at home or school – Struggles to complete exercises or activities recommended by therapists (e.g. physio, OT, or speech).
Requires regular practice to build skills – Needs consistent support to improve communication, mobility, fine motor, or daily living skills.
Therapist availability is limited – Gaps between sessions with primary therapists can be filled by an AHA under supervision.
Benefits from one-on-one support – Responds better with guided, hands-on assistance to stay focused and engaged in tasks.
Has NDIS or other funding for therapy support – An AHA can be a cost-effective way to increase therapy hours while working toward goals set by qualified therapists.
