Therapy at The Play Projects
Our team of experienced occupational, behavioural and speech therapists work with children and young adults with neurodivergent challenges to create individual strategies that help them reach their goals.
At The Play Projects, we do therapy a little differently. Our clinic-based services are just a small part of how we achieve desired outcomes and our approach to unrestricted and highly flexible therapy sees our clients reap the benefits of unique therapeutic experiences.
As a registered NDIS provider, our team is well-versed in setting goals and documenting outcomes in line with NDIS plans.
Our Therapy Services
Speech Pathology
We provide services for speech, language, literacy and communication disorders in children.
Occupational Therapy
Our team of occupational therapists work offer therapeutic experiences that align with our play-based philosophy.
Behavioural Therapy

Our Unique Approach
While we provide traditional therapy services, our offering extends much further than what is expected from clinic-based therapy. Our play-based approach means we don't restrict our clients to the confines of the clinic.

Our Commitment to You
We think outside the box to offer programs that work. Partnering with families, schools and communities, we offer a collaborative approach to understanding children and what types of resources and intervention they may need.
We don’t believe every child or person needs therapy. We do believe every child can benefit from fun and play-based activities that enable them to become happy, healthy and confident kids. We are committed to improving the health and wellbeing of the next generation. And our range of programs and services reflects that.
