Who we are
At PLP Group, we provide paediatric Occupational Therapy that supports the child and family - in ways that truly respect who they are.
Our services are neuroaffirming, strengths-based, and grounded in evidence. We celebrate neurodiversity and tailor our support to honour each individual’s unique learning profile, preferences, and pace.
We offer individualised support designed to facilitate participation in everyday activities, including learning at school, self-care, play, motor skills, and social engagement. Our approach focuses on holistic support and skills building that enables the individual to reach their full potential.
Our clinicians draw on a strong foundation of evidence-based practice to guide assessment and intervention. This includes supporting handwriting and written output, classroom participation, and the functional skills required to engage in day-to-day tasks — always in collaboration with families, educators, and other professionals.
At PLP Group, we don’t just work with children—we partner with families too. By equipping parents and carers with practical tools and strategies, we help extend progress beyond the therapy session and into everyday life.
Empowering children. Supporting families. Building a bridge to meaningful participation—while honouring every learner’s identity.
