Partnering with schools to help every student thrive.

Growing Occupational Therapy provides consultancy services to schools, including support with the Disability Inclusion Profile (DIP).

Working with schools, not just in them.

We know schools because we've actually worked in them, not just visited for observations.
Our background in Special Education means we understand the realities of busy classrooms, the demands on educators, and how to create practical, achievable strategies that support both students and staff.

Extensive Experience

With experience across mainstream and specialist school settings, we understand the education system and work collaboratively with school teams to support meaningful student outcomes.

Confidence with DI

We've supported numerous schools through the Disability Inclusion Profile process, providing guidance, observations, documentation and recommendations to help schools feel confident every step of the way.

A collaborative approach

We work alongside teachers, education support staff and families to develop practical strategies that can be used every day—not just recommendations that stay on paper.

Support that makes a difference

Our goal is simple: to help students participate, learn and thrive while making the process easier for the schools that support them.

Completed 100+ DI Applications since 2024

This isn’t our first rodeo. We have done this countless times before and can confidently guide schools who are unfamiliar with the process.

Disability Inclusion Profile

We can conduct comprehensive assessments and evaluations of pre-identified students to identify their OT needs, as part of the Disability Inclusion Profile, which now replaces the old PSD model.

 

This includes analysing evidence and providing comprehensive, recommended adjustments for the DIP application.

 

​We can also attend planning meetings to supplement evidence.

On Site Therapy

We've built strong partnerships with many schools across the Moonee Valley area, allowing us to support children in the environment where they learn and grow every day.

On-site therapy provides a collaborative approach, with regular communication between families, teachers and our Occupational Therapists to ensure strategies are practical, consistent and meaningful.

​

Professional Development

We can provide schools, teaching teams and individuals with professional learning and information about how disability and additional needs may impact participation and engagement. 

​

Topics may include: 

Neurodiversity in the Classroom

Supporting Students Sensory Needs in the Classroom 

Supporting challenging behaviours​

Implementation of MTSS Tiers

​

Other custom presentations and workshops are available on request.
