At All About Fun Therapy, we understand that some children benefit from therapy delivered in familiar environments such as home, school, or childcare settings.
While our long-term focus is to provide high-quality clinic-based services, outreach services are available where they are clinically appropriate and beneficial to the child.
Outreach services allow therapy to be delivered in real-life environments where children practise everyday skills.
When Outreach Services May Be Recommended
Outreach services may be recommended when therapy within natural environments supports better learning and participation.
This may include situations where:
- A child benefits from practising skills within their home routines
- School-based support is required to support classroom participation
- Teachers or educators require strategy guidance
- A child experiences difficulty transferring skills from clinic to daily environments
- Environmental factors impact the child’s participation
- Functional observation in natural settings is required
Outreach services are recommended based on individual needs and therapist recommendations.

Important Considerations for Outreach Services
To ensure effective service delivery:
- Outreach services are recommended based on clinical needs

- A combination of clinic and outreach sessions may be recommended
Our goal is to provide services in the environment that best supports the child’s development.
