Programs of Support

Building Blocks Therapy offer a range of innovative programs that support and extend the standard clinical therapy sessions throughout the year. As some skills are learned or consolidated best in a group environment, we offer a range of exciting group options for children in a fun, safe and supportive setting.


We offer a range of programs to provide children with an opportunity to:


  • Develop social connections
  • Practice new skills
  • Build confidence
  • Strengthen fine & gross motor skills
  • Learn and practice skills to manage feelings
  • Continue learning and practicing skills at home
Parent-Directed Therapy

Our Home Programs are specially designed by a Team of Occupational Therapists at Building Blocks Therapy.


These programs were created to allow parents to direct therapy from home via a collection of physical and online resources hand-picked and produced by our awesome OT's.

  • Fabulous Fine Motor (3-7 yrs)
  • Searching Our Senses (coming soon)
  • Motivated Movers (5-10 yrs)

  • Enable children to develop confidence and independence to perform life skills.
  • Promote development and inspire children to learn and be more meaningfully involved in the world around them.
  • Assist children to develop and strengthen their skills that support learning, play and their relationships at home and at school.
