Grace Children’s Therapy is a professional service providing innovative and practical therapy for children that have a disability or learning difficulty. We provide individually tailored therapy sessions for each child. We work in consultation with parents, teachers, schools, teacher-aids, child-care centres/pre-schools and other allied health professionals to ensure therapy transitions across all environments.
We believe in putting children first and foremost. We believe in the precious value of children and the significant role that we play in the early and most important part of their lives. We believe in only offering the highest quality therapy and our values underpin our commitment to our children, families and community. Our core value is focussed on providing evidence-based therapy strategies, improving the quality of lives and encouraging participation. We believe in contributing to the community and collaborating with parents, other health professionals and educators. We believe children learn differently and learn at their own pace and endeavour to provide them with the opportunities to learn through play. We aimed to provide a nurturing, positive environment to encourage self-confidence and facilitate their learning through positive experiences. We put the child and family at the centre of everything we do and we are mindful of the privilege to be able to serve children and families in our community. We recognise that the needs of children and families change over time and continually adapt to meet the needs of the children and families in our community.
