Thriving Kids Occupational Therapy Balgownie
Servicing the Illawarra
Thriving Kids is an Occupational Therapy Service, designed to support children - and their families -within the Illawarra region, so that they can effectively participate in the activities of their daily lives that are meaningful to them: to be included in their communities, to play, live, socialise, take care of themselves and learn to their highest potential, and - as a result - thrive! We take a neuroaffirming approach that values and celebrates each child's unique strengths and learning styles, whilst supporting their needs.
Thriving Kids is owned and operated by Belinda van Wel.
