Local OT guide
Finding the right support for your child can feel overwhelming, especially when you're juggling school, home life, and wondering if your little one needs extra help. Paediatric occupational therapy in Como offers families a way to explore whether their child might benefit from support with everyday activities.
Families in Como seek occupational therapy for many different reasons. Some children find it hard to concentrate at school or manage their belongings. Others struggle with self-care tasks like getting dressed or eating independently. Some find handwriting challenging, whilst others seem clumsy or have difficulty playing with peers. If you've noticed your child finding certain everyday tasks tricky, or if a teacher or health professional has mentioned concerns, exploring occupational therapy might be a helpful next step.
When you're looking for an OT in Como, you'll want to find a clinic that feels right for your family. Think about what matters to you: location, appointment times that fit your schedule, whether the therapist has experience with your child's age group, and how they communicate with you about progress. It's perfectly fine to call ahead and ask questions before booking. A good fit means you'll feel heard and supported throughout the process.
If your child has a disability or developmental delay, they may be eligible for funding through the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) in Western Australia. NDIS can help cover occupational therapy costs if your child meets the eligibility criteria. It's worth speaking with your GP or a health professional about whether your child might qualify, as they can guide you through the process.

Wait times for paediatric OT in Western Australia vary depending on the service and your child's needs. Public services through the Department of Health may have longer wait lists, whilst private practitioners often have shorter timeframes. It's worth contacting several providers in the COMO area to understand current availability. If your child has an NDIS plan, you can choose from registered providers, which may offer more flexibility in scheduling appointments.
The first appointment typically includes the therapist gathering information about your child's development, daily routines, and any concerns you have. They'll observe your child during play and everyday activities to understand their strengths and challenges. This assessment helps the therapist create a tailored plan. Bring any relevant medical reports or previous assessments. The appointment usually lasts 45–60 minutes, and the therapist will discuss findings and next steps with you.
If your child has an NDIS plan that includes occupational therapy funding, you can choose from registered NDIS providers in the COMO area. Contact your NDIS planner or local area coordinator to confirm your funding allocation and get a list of registered providers. You'll need to arrange appointments directly with the provider and provide your NDIS details. Keep records of sessions for your plan review. Speak with your provider about how funding is claimed.
Paediatric OTs generally support children with fine motor skills, self-care routines like dressing and eating, play development, and school readiness. They may address sensory processing, coordination, and independence in daily activities. Some therapists offer home visits or school consultations. Services vary by provider, so it's helpful to contact local practitioners to understand what they offer and whether it suits your child's needs.
Children may benefit from OT support if they struggle with everyday tasks like dressing, eating, writing, or playing; have difficulty with coordination or balance; or show sensory sensitivities. If you've noticed developmental delays or your child finds school tasks challenging, it's worth discussing concerns with your GP or early childhood educator. They can help determine whether an OT assessment would be helpful and provide referrals to local practitioners in COMO.

NDIS funding
NDIS funding for paediatric occupational therapy in Western Australia depends on the goals and budgets in a child's plan. Families may be self-managed, plan-managed, or NDIA-managed. Self-managed families usually pay the clinic and claim back through the portal. Plan-managed families ask their plan manager to process invoices. NDIA-managed families generally need providers who are registered for the relevant supports. OT is often connected with capacity building supports, improved daily living, therapy supports, or related plan categories, but every plan is different. Before booking, ask the clinic which plan types they accept, whether travel or reports are billed separately, and what details they need for invoicing. If you are unsure whether a service can be funded, check the plan wording, talk with your support coordinator or plan manager, and confirm directly with the provider before the appointment.
