Nutrition & SOS Feeding Therapy
Nutrition is the foundation of growth, health, and positive mealtime experiences.
We provide expert guidance on feeding challenges, mealtime stress, introducing new textures, ensuring nutritional balance, building positive relationships with food, and nutrition education. Using gentle, play-based strategies, children are supported to feel confident and comfortable at mealtimes. -
Speech Therapy
Communication is the foundation of connection, learning, and independence.
We provide professional support for individuals with speech, language, and communication difficulties, helping to enhance articulation, language skills, social communication, and overall confidence in expressing themselves effectively. -
Occupational Therapy
Participation lays the foundation for autonomy, confidence, and everyday success.
Occupational therapy helps children build independence in daily living, self-care, handwriting, play skills, and participation in everyday activities, supporting their overall development and functional confidence. -
Positive Behaviour Support
Positive behaviour is the foundation of learning, social connection, and emotional wellbeing.
We provide professional support to help children develop positive behaviour, strengthen social skills, manage emotions effectively, and implement tailored behaviour support plans to promote success in everyday life. -
Psychology
Emotional wellbeing is the foundation of resilience, growth, and self-understanding.
We provide professional psychological support to help children navigate anxiety, emotional regulation, social challenges, and behavioural difficulties. Through evidence-based, child-friendly approaches, children are supported to build coping strategies, self-confidence, and the emotional tools they need to thrive.

Support Work
Consistent support is the foundation of participation, inclusion, and everyday progress.
Our support workers help children and families engage in daily activities, community access, social outings, skill-building, and personal care. Working alongside your child's therapy team, support workers provide the hands-on, day-to-day assistance that turns therapy goals into real-life outcomes.
Getting Started Is Simple
No complicated paperwork, no long waits. Most families are seen within 1–2 weeks.
Call, email, or fill in our parent enquiry form. Professionals can use our Referral Portal. We'll respond within one business day.
A friendly, no-obligation chat to understand your child's needs and answer your questions. You'll speak directly with a qualified therapist — not an intake coordinator.
Every child is different — so their support should be too. We take the time to understand your child's unique needs, goals, and personality, then match them with the right therapist or multidisciplinary team.
Your first session is a comprehensive assessment — at home, school, or via Telehealth. We take the time to understand your child through observation, conversation, and collaboration with your family to set meaningful goals together.
At Foundations First, we believe in Growth in Unity. Together, we cultivate a supportive environment where every child's unique developmental journey unfolds. Through collaborative therapies, tailored interventions, and a united commitment across disciplines, we foster growth and ensure each child reaches their full potential in a nurturing and inclusive atmosphere.
