Frangipani Family Day is an opportunity for CliniKids to celebrate the families we engage with through our clinical services and research.
We are aware that many of our clients are either starting kindy or are transitioning from kindy to fulltime school and may require a different day/time for their regular therapy sessions at CliniKids.
To celebrate World Occupational Therapy (OT) day, we asked our Occupational Therapists to describe what OT means to them.
Our team is comprised of well experienced clinicians who can support your child and family.
By fundraising, you’re helping raise awareness and provide funds to support CliniKids and the work we do with autistic children. There are lots of ways to fundraise, online and offline.

With increasing demands for health, disability and education services, innovative approaches can help distribute limited resources according to need. Despite an increased focus on support needs within the clinical pathway and policy landscape, the body of research knowledge on this topic is at a relatively early stage. However, there appears to be a sense of unmet support needs and dissatisfaction with the provision of required support following an autism diagnosis amongst caregivers of young people on the spectrum.
A diagnosis of an autism spectrum condition (autism) provides limited information regarding an individual’s level of functioning, information key in determining support and funding needs.
The growing global prevalence of autism spectrum disorder is associated with increasing costs for support services. Ascertaining the effects of a successful preemptive intervention for infants showing early behavioral signs of autism on human services budgets is highly policy relevant.
