Pepper Kids Therapy are a group of qualified (and passionate!) allied health practitioners who help children to succeed in life. They’re a multidisciplinary provider dedicated to supporting children of all ages, from infancy right up to twenty-one years of age.
Families can visit one of their four clinics across Brisbane, Logan and the Gold Coast, with telehealth and mobile appointments also available.
The team at Pepper Kids Therapy love what they do, and are equipped with the latest resources, up to date assessments, and evidence-based practice.
Occupational Therapy
The Occupational Therapists (OTs) at Pepper Kids Therapy support children to engage confidently in everyday activities – think things like playing, learning, self-care, socialising with friends and participating in home, school and community life.
Through collaborative, consistent and strength-based support, the OTs at Pepper Kids Therapy help children to build physical, sensory, emotional, and functional skills that encourage their independence at home, school and out and about.
Speech Pathology
Paediatric Speech Pathologists help children and their families who are experiencing challenges with communication and play. If your child is experiencing any of the following, the caring and passionate team of speech pathologists at Pepper Kids Therapy are here to help:
- Listening
- Understanding language
- Following instructions
- Using language and communication
- Pronouncing words correctly
- Reading and writing
- Socialisation and play
- Feeding
Psychology
Paediatric psychology can support with a range of things, from anxiety, depression, anger, and disruptive behaviour through to peer problems, social skills, oppositional defiant disorder and much more.
The team at Pepper Kids Therapy provide clinical and standardised assessments across these areas, then provide support through a comprehensive report, recommendations for home, childcare and school, and ongoing therapy to work towards the best possible outcomes for your child.
Parent support
Parents and carers need help too! At Pepper Kids Therapy they work with parents, caregivers and families to build the knowledge, skills and confidence needed to support their child’s development, participation, wellbeing and independence in everyday life.
Through coaching, education and collaborative problem-solving, they help families develop practical strategies that can be used at home, school and in the community.
Early development screening
An Early Development Screening can be a helpful starting point for parents wondering if their child is developing as expected. All children grow, learn, and develop in their own way and on their own timeline. If you have questions, have noticed things differently about your child, or are looking for guidance on how to best support your child, then a screening can help with understanding your child’s strengths, identify areas where they may benefit from additional support, and explore the next steps together with the experienced and caring team at Pepper Kids Therapy.
This screening might be right for your child if they:
- Are aged 0–5
- Are experiencing challenges with movement, coordination or everyday activities
- Display sensory preferences or sensitivities
- Find play and social interactions difficult
- Have challenges self-regulating or experience big emotions
You know your child best – so even if you’re just looking for reassurance or guidance, the Pepper Kids Therapy team is ready to help.
