✨Clinical Supervision✨

At Hopscotch, we believe that great therapy doesn't just happen in sessions—it also happens through reflection.

Our occupational therapists regularly participate in clinical supervision, where we have dedicated time to reflect on our practice, celebrate successes, explore challenges, and think deeply about how we can best support the children and families we work with.

Reflection is a skill we support in our therapy sessions. We support children to think about what worked well, what felt challenging, and what strategies they might use next time. We also partner with parents and caregivers to reflect on their child's progress, celebrate achievements, and problem-solve together as new challenges arise.

When therapists experience reflective practice in supervision they are more able to, create a culture of curiosity, growth, and collaboration. Just as we encourage children to develop self-awareness and confidence, we continue developing our own skills so we can provide the best possible support.

Because the best outcomes come from everyone learning together. 🌱

We also provide clinical supervision to external OT's. If you are looking for supportive, reflective and practical clinical supervision please get in touch on 1300 467 192 or [email protected].

Imaginative play is a fun and important part of being a kid! There is no right way to play and it looks different for every child.

Imaginative play promotes problem solving, flexible thinking, encourages empathy and social navigation and develops our ability to tell stories. Most importantly, it is a great time! It may look like pretending a baby doll is alive, that a stick is a sword, sorting toys by colour, lining toys up or even cows visiting a fairy land.....

Joining your child in play and delighting in however they are playing is a great way to build trust and deepen your connection with your child!

With the school holidays approaching, it can be a great time to look at doing an OT Intensive. But what is that❓

An intensive OT block can look like longer, or more frequent sessions to work on a specific goal. Basically intensive OT is high frequency over a short duration (1-2 weeks). Your OT will work with you find the right schedule for your child according to their needs and goals. This often look like sessions each day or every other day within a week, with sessions ranging from 45 minutes to 2 hours.

This focused evidence based approach is designed to provide your child with consistent opportunities to work on targeted goals It can be a great way to get a skill boost without worrying about missing school or the fatigue that a before/ after school appointment can bring.
