School-Based Occupational Therapy in Adelaide

Collaborative occupational therapy woven into your child's school day - working alongside teachers and support staff so new skills carry over into the classroom.

School is where children spend much of their day - learning, playing, and navigating friendships, noise and expectations. We Play OT brings paediatric occupational therapy right into that setting, so support happens where your child actually needs it most.

Therapy that fits the school day

Diana Quinones works hand-in-hand with teachers, SSOs and support staff to understand the real challenges your child faces in the classroom and playground - then builds practical, play-based strategies the whole school team can use.

  • Observation in the real classroom and playground environment
  • Collaboration with teachers and support staff
  • Practical strategies for focus, regulation and participation
  • Skills that carry over between school and home

What school-based OT can support

  • Sitting, attention and engagement in class
  • Handwriting, scissor skills and fine motor tasks
  • Sensory needs in a busy, noisy environment
  • Emotional regulation and managing transitions
  • Confidence, friendships and taking part
