Empowering Children to Live to
Their Full Potential
Bumble Bea Occupational Therapy is a Neurodiversity-Affirming Practice offering mobile therapy services for children aged 2–12 years across Melbourne’s South Eastern Suburbs.
We provide outreach visits within your child’s natural environments — including the home, school, childcare, or kindergarten to support meaningful engagement in everyday life.
​​
​Our practice specialises in working with neurodivergent children, including autistic children, ADHDers, and children with intellectual disabilities. We use identity-first language in recognition that many people in the neurodivergent community prefer this terminology as it reflects neurodivergence as an integral part of identity, not something separate or negative.
Due to high demand, our waiting list is currently closed. We appreciate your understanding and will update this notice as soon as we are able to accept new referrals.

We deliver occupational therapy services through home visits, and within community settings such as kindergartens, childcare centres, and schools.

We primarily support children funded through the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), specifically those who are self-managed or plan-managed. The NDIS is a national funding scheme that provides support for people with disability in Australia. If your child is not currently accessing the NDIS and you would like to discuss their eligibility, please contact us.
What is
Occupational Therapy?
Occupational Therapy empowers children to participate in the everyday activities that are meaningful to them. For children, their primary occupations include play, learning, and self-care. We support children to do the things they need and want to do; especially the tasks they find challenging.
​
We create a safe, trusting environment where children feel seen and supported. Through strong relationships, we honour each child’s unique strengths and differences, helping them grow with confidence and reach their full potential. We recognise that every child is different and develops at their own pace.
​
Together with families, we set goals that are meaningful and relevant to your child’s life.
Is Occupational Therapy right for your child?
If your child needs support in any of the following areas, Occupational Therapy may be a great fit for them:
​
-
Fine motor skills
-
Gross motor skills
-
Emotional regulation
-
Self-advocacy
-
Sensory processing
-
Self-care and independence
-
School readiness
-
Social interaction and relationships
-
Executive functioning (eg. planning, organisation, attention)
Early intervention is especially important during the early years, as children aged 0–6 are developing rapidly and their brains are highly responsive to learning and new experiences.
​
Seeking occupational therapy support during this critical window can help your child build strong foundations and reach their full potential.
