School & Home-Based Therapy Sessions
Bringing therapy to your child's most familiar environments for comfort, consistency, and real-world progress
What This Service Is
School and home-based therapy at GOODHANDS brings support directly to the environments where your child spends most of their time. This approach makes therapy feel more natural, reduces stress, and allows us to address real-world challenges in the moment.
Whether your child needs support at school, at home, or both, we work collaboratively with teachers, caregivers, and families to ensure consistent, effective support across all settings.
This service is flexible and designed to fit your family's needs, your child's schedule, and the goals you are working toward.
Who This Service Helps
School and home-based therapy is ideal for children who:
- Benefit from therapy in familiar, comfortable environments
- Experience challenges that are specific to school or home settings
- Need support with routines, tasks, or behaviours in real-world contexts
- Would benefit from collaboration between therapists, teachers, and parents
- Prefer therapy in a setting where they feel safe and relaxed
- Have difficulty attending clinic-based sessions due to scheduling or transport
This service supports children of all ages and can be adapted to suit a wide range of developmental, behavioural, learning, and communication needs.
How We Work
Our approach to school and home-based therapy is:
- Child-centred: We meet your child where they are and work in the setting that suits them best
- Evidence-based: Our methods are grounded in proven therapeutic practices
- Family-focused: We partner with parents and caregivers to support progress at home
- Collaborative: We work closely with teachers and school staff to support consistency and progress
We begin with a thorough assessment and consultation to understand your child's needs and the specific challenges they face in different environments. From there, we create an individualised plan with clear goals and practical strategies.
Regular communication and progress reviews ensure that everyone involved is working together to support your child effectively.
What Sessions Look Like
Sessions are tailored to the environment and your child's needs. At school, we might work with your child during class time, recess, or in a quiet space, whatever works best. At home, we integrate therapy into daily routines and activities.
Sessions are typically one-on-one, but we can also work in small groups or consult with teachers and caregivers as needed.
The focus is always on building skills, confidence, and independence in the settings where your child spends their time.
Parent Involvement
Parents and caregivers are essential partners in school and home-based therapy. We provide coaching, demonstrations, and practical strategies so you can support your child's progress throughout the day.
After each session, we share what we worked on and suggest activities or adjustments you can make to reinforce learning. We also maintain regular communication with teachers and school staff to ensure consistency across environments.
Your involvement helps your child build skills, confidence, and independence in the places that matter most.
