Sunshine Coast Occupational Therapy

Embracing every mind, nurturing every path

At Kalos Therapy, we embrace neurodiversity, providing tailored, strengths-based support for individuals of all abilities. 

We offer occupational therapy for individuals experiencing intellectual, developmental, social emotional, and mental health challenges. Kalos Therapy specialises in providing services to individuals between the ages of 7 – 21, however can provide services to those above the age of 3 and into adulthood. We cannot currently support aged care clients.

At Kalos Therapy, our intervention is both effective and enjoyable, fostering growth through play and creativity.

  • A little update from our online store for October 🌿

We’ve been busy supporting two university students on placement, so it’s been a quieter month for new resources—but we’re excited to share our latest addition: **The Neurodivergent Profile Wheels**!

The bundle includes eight profile wheels, examples and reflection pages to help explore individual experiences, preferences and support needs. They’re designed to support self-understanding and conversations with therapists, clients or caregivers, recognising that everyone’s profile looks different.

They’re also this month’s featured resource, with **20% off for our email subscribers** 💌

We’ve got some freebies coming this month too! Keep an eye out for our next monthly newsletter for those.

  • Our children’s groups are underway, and there are still a few places available! 🌟

🎒 Ready. Set. Prep! - We’ve finished our first group, and it went amazingly! We loved seeing the children explore new skills together, and we’re so excited to run it again. There are 2 spots left in the next group.

🧱 Construction Crew - Our LEGO® building group gives children a chance to practise working together, communicating and solving problems through shared builds. There are 2 spots left in the Wednesday group and 1 spot left in the Tuesday group running in Term 4.

🧪 Slime Squad - There’s still time for some school holiday slime making! Children can choose their own colours, textures and trinkets to make a creation to take home. There are 2 spots left in the Wednesday 30 September group.

You can find the full timetable and book or express your interest on our website.

  • A little BTS of getting ready for Slime Squad 🧪✨

Possibly one of the best parts of the preparation: organising all the tiny trinkets and add-ins the kids will be able to use to customise their slime creations 👀🌈

Slime Squad is starting soon at Kalos Therapy, and we’re getting everything ready for our slime makers!

Check out our website to see the current group schedule 🗓️ And if the times don’t suit, let us know what days and times you’d love to see future Slime Squad sessions run.

  • You can’t organise an overflowing cupboard without taking some things out first. 

Sometimes, getting ‘organised’ is less about finding a better system, and more about being honest about what no longer fits 🤷🏼‍♀️😌

Your time, energy, and attention all have limits. Making space might have to mean letting something go 🤍

  • Some of the best toys don’t come with instructions ✨

Open-ended play gives children the freedom to follow their own ideas, explore different possibilities and decide what happens next.

A block isn’t always just a block. A silk isn’t always just a silk. A cardboard box definitely isn’t always just a box.

When there’s no single “right” way to play, children can practise creativity, problem-solving, flexible thinking, planning, communication and motor skills, all while doing something that feels meaningful and fun to them 🧸🧱🌈

  • This is why I love open-ended play 🧱✨

There is no single “right” way to use an open-ended toy. The same set of bricks became dominoes, a castle, part of an imaginative world and, finally, a high-jump challenge!

Open-ended play gives children the freedom to follow their own ideas, experiment, problem-solve and change direction as their play develops. It can move between creativity, construction, storytelling and whole-body movement, all without an adult deciding what the finished product should look like.

And sometimes, the most unexpected idea ends up being the best one 😂
