Home, School & Childcare Support

At Lotus Kids OT, we focus on adapting the environment or task - not the child.

Support is practical, collaborative, and tailored to where your child lives, learns, and plays.

This may include:

  • Home, classroom, or childcare observations

  • Sensory-informed environmental adjustments

  • Adapting tasks, routines, and expectations

  • Visual supports and predictable structures

  • Supporting transitions and daily participation

  • Collaborative problem-solving with educators and caregivers

Our neuro-affirming approach aims to reduce stress, support regulation, and increase participation, while honouring each child’s individuality.

Parent/Caregiver Coaching

At Lotus Kids OT, we recognise parents and caregivers as the experts on their child. Coaching is a collaborative process designed to support you, not to “fix” your child.

Support may include:

  • Understanding your child’s nervous system and sensory needs

  • Exploring what behaviour is communicating

  • Supporting co-regulation and emotional safety

  • Adapting routines, environments, and expectations

  • Practical strategies for everyday challenges

Our neuro-affirming approach focuses on connection, safety, and participation - not compliance or behaviour change.

Parent & caregiver coaching can occur within sessions, as parent-only support, or alongside schools and early learning settings.

Skill-based Programs

Our skill-based group programs support children to build meaningful skills in a safe, inclusive, and supportive group environment.

Groups are strengths-based and participation-focused, with an emphasis on connection, confidence, and real-life application.

Programs may support:

  • Social participation and peer connection

  • Emotional regulation and co-regulation skills

  • Confidence and self-advocacy

  • Play, cooperation, and group participation

Groups are intentionally small and thoughtfully structured to support nervous system safety, individual differences, and a sense of belonging.
