We create sensory-motor, play and language-rich environments to foster regulation, connection, listening, interaction and communication among children, their friends and their families.

Allied Health Supports

  • Speech Pathology

    At be™, our speech therapists work within a multi-disciplinary team, recognising that communication development is complex and often benefits from a collaborative approach.

    We help children develop the skills to connect and engage meaningfully, while seeking to break down barriers to communication and create a more inclusive society. We celebrate all communication styles — verbal, non-verbal, or alternative — and focus on each child’s strengths and abilities to overcome challenges and ensure every voice is recognised and respected.

  • Occupational Therapy

    At be™, our occupational therapists support children and adolescents to achieve their daily occupations including self-care (dressing, toileting), school, work, and play.

    We believe that every person has the innate capacity to participate actively and meaningfully in their daily activities and life roles. We realise that there is no one-size-fits-all approach and we tailor our supports to meet the unique needs and preferences of every individual. We honour and respect everyone’s unique interests, passions, and aspirations, and incorporate these elements into our supports.

  • Social Work

    At be™, our social workers collaborate with children and families to build confidence, resilience, emotional regulation, and self-advocacy, while supporting school, peer, and family interactions, and navigating challenges such as anxiety, grief, and loss.

    Through play therapy, we create opportunities for children to explore emotions, express themselves, and develop coping skills in a safe and engaging way. By using neurodiversity-affirming language and fostering a supportive environment, we help every individual feel heard, seen, and valued, promoting inclusion, belonging, and holistic well-being.

  • Allied Health Assistants

    Allied Health Assistants (AHA’s) play an important role at be™ as they help care for the overall wellness of our families and contribute to the holistic and supportive care environment that we aim to provide at be™.

    Our AHAs work in close collaboration with our speech therapists, occupational therapists and social workers, to provide inclusive and personalised care.
