Bringing therapists and teachers together
to help students participate, learn and thrive throughout the school day.
BOOM Kids Clinic partners with primary and secondary schools to bring allied health expertise into the classroom and school environment. Our therapists work alongside teachers and learning support staff to identify needs early, provide practical support and build the skills and confidence of the people around each student.
Every school is different. Our Occupational Therapists, Speech Pathologists, Physiotherapists and Dietitians can work alongside your team in a way that responds to the students, teachers and priorities within your school.
Sometimes you know a student needs more support, but you're not sure what that support should look like.
Our therapists can observe individual students within the classroom, consult with teachers and learning support staff, and provide practical recommendations to support participation, learning and inclusion. We can also work with your team around broader concerns within a classroom, helping staff understand what they are seeing and identify strategies they can put into practice.
Support can include observations, staff consultations, written recommendations and guidance around whether further assessment or support may be beneficial.
Bring therapy support directly into your school environment.
Our therapists can provide individual support for students within the school, allowing therapy to focus on skills in the environment where they naturally need to use them. Working within the school also creates opportunities to collaborate with teachers and embed strategies into everyday classroom routines and activities.
We can also deliver small group programs targeting areas such as communication, movement, fine motor skills, participation and classroom readiness. Programs can be tailored to the needs of your students and delivered as a one-off program or across a term.
Give your teachers and support staff practical skills they can use every day.
BOOM training sessions are delivered by our allied health team and designed specifically for the school environment. Rather than simply providing information, we focus on practical strategies staff can confidently apply within their classrooms, routines and interactions with students.
Training can be tailored to your school and may cover areas such as supporting regulation, communication and participation, recognising developmental or physical concerns, building motor skills, creating inclusive classrooms, or supporting students with more complex needs.
Sessions can be delivered as workshops, professional development sessions or ongoing coaching for your team.
Start with a package or build your own.
Every school has different priorities, student needs and funding available. That's why BOOM offers a selection of ready-to-go allied health packages, while also giving schools the flexibility to create a package around what they need most.
Our packages can combine services such as student screening, observations, consultation, group programs, educator coaching and professional development.
If your school has a specific amount of funding available, talk to us about what you would like to achieve. We can help design a combination of services that makes the best use of your available budget and delivers meaningful support across your school.
Access the combined knowledge of Occupational Therapy, Speech Pathology, Physiotherapy and Dietetics, with our team able to work together when a student's needs cross more than one area.
Our recommendations are designed to work in real classroom environments, with strategies that can be incorporated into existing routines and learning.
We want teachers and support staff to understand how to support students beyond the time our therapist is there, building skills and confidence that can benefit the whole classroom.
From a single observation or training session to regular in-school support, we can build a partnership around what your school actually needs.
