Helping children living in the western suburbs of Melbourne to learn new skills through play.
What We Do
Western Kids Therapy provides therapy services to children aged birth to 12 years and their families.
We are a mobile service and are able to travel up to 30 minutes from Footscray to work with your child in their natural setting where they spend their time, including at home, Kinder, Childcare or school.
Our evidence based, child and family-centred approach helps children to develop new skills, achieve greater independence and participate in their community.
Our Approach
We build on your child's strengths and interests, and use these to boost their confidence and help them achieve their meaningful goals.
This allows us to work closely with parents/caregivers, educators and other specialists to support your child's needs and ensure that strategies can be effectively embedded into their daily routine and everyday life.
Getting Help
We can help your child with developing a range of skills including:
Gross Motor
Skills using the body's larger muscles for running, jumping, climbing, riding a bike and playing sports.
Fine Motor
Skills using the body's smaller muscles for using pencils/scissors, building with blocks and doing puzzles.
Self Care
Skills increasing independence in dressing, mealtimes, toileting, bathing, and sleep.
Play and Social
Skills involving interacting with others in fun and engaging activities, and learning about the world around us.
Self Regulation
Skills involving understanding and managing thoughts, emotions and behaviours and adapting to challenging situations.
