Integrated Therapy Services - Why Our Approach Works
Speech Pathology + Occupational Therapy + Parent Coaching = Comprehensive Support
Unlike single-discipline practices, My Therapy House brings together multiple allied health professionals in one Adelaide location.
This integrated model means:
Better Outcomes Through Collaboration: Our team works together on your child’s care plan, ensuring all developmental areas are addressed simultaneously rather than in isolation.
Consistent Family Experience: Families work with one cohesive team rather than coordinating multiple providers across different locations. This saves time, reduces stress, and ensures consistent communication.
Holistic Understanding: When your speech pathologist collaborates with your occupational therapist, they can address how sensory processing affects communication, or how motor skills impact play-based learning – connections often missed in fragmented care.
Efficient Service Delivery: Attending one location for multiple services reduces travel time and scheduling complexity for busy families.

Parent Training
In addition to working with children, our therapists are trained to support you as a parent. We offer different parent training programs based on your specific needs, helping you feel confident in supporting your child's development at home.
As a small and caring, independent business, we place creativity, passion and fun at the heart of everything we do. Through therapy and training, we focus on:
Early Intervention
The early years of your child's life are a time of rapid development and learning, so this is a great time to introduce play-based therapy. By addressing any challenges as early as possible, we can support your child to develop their knowledge of themselves and their world.
Regulation
Regulation is the foundation for all development, as it helps children focus attention on skills. Children learn best when they feel calm, alert and understood. We support your child to be in their “just right” space for their own learning, growth and development.
Communication
We use a variety of approaches and strategies to support speaking and non-speaking children to communicate in ways that are meaningful for them, so they feel understood. We also help you, as a parent, to nurture your child’s way of communicating.
Individual Differences
Everyone experiences the world in different ways. We take the time to work with your child at their pace and to match their unique way of learning. We tailor their environment to help them better attend, focus, interact, and play with others. We also teach you to understand how your child’s individuality impacts the way they absorb, understand and interpret information from their environment and how this affects their learning.
Social-Emotional Development
Some children have difficulty sharing and taking turns, playing with and understanding the perspective of others, making friends, and expressing their emotions. We use a relationship-based approach to support your child to explore their emotions and develop their social skills in a friendly and safe environment. We also offer social-emotional support for parents through our training programs.
Neuro-Affirming Practices
As a neurodiversity-affirming practice, we acknowledge and celebrate the fact that everyone’s brain develops differently and that we each experience the world in our unique way. We draw on neuroaffirming approaches such as DIRFloortime® to focus on creating an accepting and inclusive environment that builds upon your child’s interests, strengths, and needs.
Relationships
Relationships are the key to your child’s development as they learn about themselves, their family and other people in their lives. We work as a team to support secure attachments between you and your child so you both develop confidence, resilience, and self-esteem. This supports your child with solving problems, managing stress, and forming healthy relationships at school and beyond.
Parent Health and Wellbeing
As a parent and caregiver, you are at the centre of your child’s development. We offer a range of programs to help you feel more confident and grounded in your parenting to prevent burn-out. We help you navigate the maze of different therapy approaches and services available and the decisions you need to make about what’s best for you and your family.
Play
Play is the way your child learns about themselves and their world. We use a holistic play-based approach to foster your child’s development through play. Our team plans each play-based session to spark your child's curiosity and interest, so they engage and interact in a caring, friendly environment that is meaningful for them, moves at their pace and honours who they are.
