Finalist Details
Therapy Pro offers high-quality allied health services, including psychology, occupational therapy, speech therapy, positive behaviour support and social work. Their early intervention approach focuses on children aged 0-12 years, providing tailored support that fosters development. Central to their program is the 'Team Around the Child' model, which coordinates care among various specialists to address all aspects of a child's needs.
An example of their impact is Emma*, a 5-year-old with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder, who faced challenges with language and social skills. Therapy Pro's multidisciplinary team, including speech and occupational therapists, worked with Emma's family and educators through both in-person and telehealth sessions. Family coaching was instrumental in reinforcing strategies at home. Over time, Emma showed improvements in her language, social interaction and emotional development.
