Funding and bookings
You may choose to pay privately for this service, or if you have NDIS funding you may use the funding allocated in your

per school term when accessing therapy assistant services. Only a qualified OT has the necessary expertise to assess, diagnose, make professional recommendations and develop treatment plans that
are specific, appropriate and safe for your child.
