At Nourished Not Deprived, we know that no one understands your child quite like you do. That’s why we offer parent-led therapy through secure and flexible telehealth services—so you can feel confident supporting your child’s development, with the expert guidance of our allied health professionals.
Whether you’re in a rural town, juggling a busy household, or just looking for a model that works around your child’s natural environment—telehealth parent-led therapy could be the solution you’ve been searching for.
While parent-led therapy can be delivered face-to-face, telehealth makes it even more accessible—especially for families in rural or remote locations, or those managing multiple demands.
There are both benefits and limitations to telehealth. Some children may require hands-on support or specialised in-person assessments. But for many families, parent-led therapy via telehealth is an incredibly effective, empowering, and flexible approach.
Contact us to talk through whether it’s the right fit for your situation.
Parent-led therapy is an evidence-based approach where you, as the parent or carer, take an active role in delivering your child’s therapy. Our qualified therapists work with you through regular online occupational therapy sessions, showing you how to embed therapeutic techniques into your daily routines—like getting dressed, playing, mealtimes, or winding down for bed.
Rather than relying solely on traditional appointments, parent-led therapy empowers you to create consistent and meaningful change for your child every day.
Your journey with us begins with a telehealth appointment with one of our experienced therapists. They’ll get to know your child, understand their strengths and challenges, and collaborate with you to build a realistic, personalised therapy plan.
Throughout the process, you’ll receive:
Coaching on strategies to use at home
Practical tips tailored to your routines and goals
Feedback, encouragement and regular check-ins
Clear next steps and resources to keep your child progressing
Parent-led therapy is used across a range of developmental areas, including:
Emotional regulation and sensory needs
Daily living skills (e.g., dressing, eating, toileting)
Communication and play
Building independence and resilience
Our parent-led therapy via telehealth is available through a range of funding options:
Medicare (with a GP referral under a Chronic Disease Management Plan)
NDIS (self, plan or agency-managed)
Private funding or private health insurance
Need help understanding your options? We’re happy to walk you through it.
