Support services we provide in Caroline Springs
-
Occupational therapy
Everyday tasks can become easier with the right strategies and support. Our occupational therapists in Caroline Springs work with participants to understand which activities they find challenging and identify practical ways to manage them.
Therapy may address personal care, household tasks, sensory needs, mobility, motor skills or daily routines. Sessions are shaped around the participant’s abilities and goals, with strategies that can be applied across school, work or at home.
-
Speech pathology
Speech pathology support in Caroline Springs can help children and adults overcome challenges with communication, language and swallowing. Our speech pathologists assess each participant’s needs and identify areas where therapy could make a difference.
NDIS speech therapy sessions are designed around the individual, with practical activities and strategies they can use anywhere.
-
Positive behaviour support
Our positive behaviour support practitioners in Caroline Springs help participants and those around them better understand behaviours of concern. By looking at factors such as communication, sensory needs, routines and the environment, they can identify what may be triggering certain behaviours and how these situations could be managed differently.
Practitioners use these insights to develop individualised behaviour support plans that encourage positive change, strengthen everyday skills and reduce behaviours of concern.
-
Exercise physiology
Exercise physiology in Caroline Springs uses tailored exercise programs to support participants with their physical health, movement and overall wellbeing. Programs are developed to suit the person’s current abilities, health needs and individual goals.
Depending on the participant, sessions may work on strength, balance, endurance or mobility. Exercise physiology can also help people manage chronic health conditions and develop ways to include suitable physical activity in their routine.
-
Physiotherapy
Physiotherapy can help participants improve how they move and manage physical activities throughout the day. An Ability Action Australia physio in Caroline Springs can tailor therapy to the individual, considering their mobility, physical abilities and the goals they would like to work towards.
Treatment may focus on strength, balance, coordination, mobility and movement. Participants can also learn exercises and strategies to practise between appointments and use during everyday activities.
-
Functional capacity assessment
A functional capacity assessment looks at how a participant manages everyday tasks and the level of support they may need across different areas of life. The assessment considers the person’s abilities, challenges and day-to-day circumstances.
Our clinicians then prepare a detailed report documenting their findings and recommendations. This can provide evidence for NDIS planning and funding considerations, as well as identify supports that may assist the participant with their individual needs and goals.
-
Psychology
Our psychologists in Caroline Springs work with participants to understand emotional, behavioural and cognitive challenges that may affect their everyday life. Assistance is personalised, with sessions focused on the areas that are most relevant to the participant.
Using evidence-based approaches, psychology may address anxiety, mood, emotional regulation, behaviour or adjusting to changes and challenges. Where appropriate, psychologists can also work collaboratively with families and other members of the participant’s support network.
-
Early childhood support (Key Worker)
Every child develops at their own pace, and some may benefit from extra assistance as they learn new skills. Our early childhood support team in Caroline Springs works with children with developmental delays or disability, helping them build confidence and participate more fully in activities at home, childcare and in the community.
Through our Key Worker approach, families have a consistent point of contact who brings together advice from relevant professionals who can help with finding practical ways to encourage development through the activities children already enjoy.
