How I Can Help
Lauren Gingold Occupational Therapy is a mobile service supporting young children (0–7 years) and their families.
Therapy focuses on building skills that are meaningful in your child’s everyday life — supporting their independence, participation, and confidence at home, in learning environments, and in the community.
Families seek support at different stages. Some may have early questions or concerns about their child’s development, while others may already have a clearer understanding of their child’s needs. Support is tailored to meet you where you are at.
How therapy is delivered
Sessions take place in the environments where your child naturally spends their time, including:
Home
Childcare or kindergarten
School
Community settings
Working in these real-life contexts allows therapy to be practical, relevant, and easier to carry over into daily routines.
A tailored and collaborative approach
Support is individualised and developed in partnership with you.
Together, we identify what is most important for your child and family, and set meaningful, achievable goals. Therapy is flexible and responsive, with goals regularly reviewed and adjusted over time.
A strong focus is placed on building a positive relationship with your child, while also supporting you with practical strategies that can be used in everyday situations.
Who this service is suited for
This service is suited for young children who may benefit from support with their development, including those who:
Are finding some aspects of everyday life more challenging than expected
Would benefit from extra support to build skills, confidence, or independence
Need a more individualised, flexible, or responsive approach to therapy
Lauren has extensive experience supporting children with a wide range of developmental and behavioural needs, including those with more complex support needs. Many families seek out this service when they are looking for thoughtful, tailored support that is responsive to their child over time.
Parent support and coaching
Supporting parents is an important part of this service.
In addition to working directly with your child, parent coaching sessions are available to:
Talk through your concerns (whether you’re just starting to have questions or already have a clear understanding of your child’s needs)
Build understanding of your child’s strengths and areas of difficulty
Develop practical strategies to support your child at home and in daily routines
These sessions are collaborative, supportive, and designed to help you feel more confident in how to support your child.
Working together with others
Where appropriate, Lauren works alongside educators, teachers, and other professionals involved in your child’s care. This helps ensure that strategies are consistent across environments and meaningful in your child’s everyday life.
