At South West Kids Clinic, we deliver an extensive array of therapy services, each customised to support the developmental needs of children residing in the Campbelltown area. Let’s explore each of our main services in more detail:
Occupational Therapy
At South West Kids Clinic, our Occupational Therapists are committed to boosting your child’s independence in daily activities through the latest treatment techniques and therapeutic tools. Our team focuses on enhancing motor skills, increasing engagement in play, simplifying tasks, and suggesting appropriate equipment and assistive devices. This approach helps ensure that your child enjoys a more active and autonomous participation in everyday life.
Speech Pathology
Our Speech Pathologists are dedicated to enhancing your child’s daily communication, eating, and drinking capabilities. We focus on empowering your child to communicate clearly and with confidence, facilitating easy expression of their thoughts and feelings. Additionally, we aim to foster safe and enjoyable mealtimes by promoting your child’s ability to eat and drink independently and safely.
Physiotherapy Campbelltown
Movement is essential for active engagement in life. Our Physiotherapists are dedicated to enhancing your child’s physical abilities using innovative techniques and the latest therapeutic equipment. We concentrate on improving mobility, strength, and coordination, all of which are vital for active participation in physical activities and for enhancing overall quality of life.
Dietetics
Proper nutrition is crucial for children, particularly those with physical challenges. Our Dietitians create tailored nutritional plans specifically designed for children with disabilities. We ensure that each child gets the necessary nutritional support to foster optimal growth, development, and learning.
When is the best time to start therapy?
The best time to start therapy is when you notice any developmental delays or concerns in your child. Early intervention is crucial as it can significantly improve the effectiveness of the treatment, helping your child achieve the best possible outcomes.
How often will I come to therapy?
The frequency of therapy sessions typically depends on your child’s specific needs and goals during the initial assessment. Most children benefit from weekly sessions, but we may suggest more or fewer visits based on your child’s progress.
Why is it important to be active in my child's therapy?
Put simply, the greater your involvement is in therapy, the quicker your child will gain results. For this reason, we only work with families actively involved in their child’s therapy. This includes collaborating to establish goals, participating in therapy sessions, completing practice between sessions and providing feedback to your therapist about progress between sessions.
Will you help me know what therapy I need?
Our team conducts comprehensive assessments to understand each child’s strengths and challenges. Based on these assessments, we develop individualised therapy plans that are continually adapted to reflect progress and changing needs.
How do I book an appointment?
You can contact our clinic directly or via email to discuss your child’s needs. Our reception team will ask quick questions about your child to determine the next steps required.
Will you help my child at school or child care?
Therapy sessions are primarily completed in our clinic; however, we occasionally recommend contacting the school or child care to observe your child and consult with the teachers regarding valuable strategies to promote success in the classroom or playground. Occasionally, ongoing sessions are suggested; however, this is based on clinical need rather than convenience.
