Every child deserves a care plan tailored to their unique rhythm, strengths, and goals. Navigating therapy services under the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) can feel overwhelming for many families across Perth, Western Australia. Balancing clinic appointments, school schedules, and home routines leaves little room for standard, rigid appointments.
At U&A Home Care, we bring high-quality, personalized paediatric care directly to your doorstep. Supporting neurodivergent individuals and children under the NDIS across Perth, WA—supporting your family every step of the way through personalized mobile in-person visits and convenient Telehealth!
Whether your child needs support building essential motor skills, regulating their sensory system, or broadening their food variety, our multidisciplinary team delivers expert, compassionate care in the environments where your child feels most comfortable.
The Benefits of Mobile & Telehealth Paediatric Therapy
Receiving therapy at home or in school allows paediatric health professionals to see a child in their natural environment. Traditional clinic settings can sometimes trigger anxiety or performance pressure, masking real-world challenges.
Mobile and Telehealth delivery offer distinct advantages for NDIS participants:
- Real-World Skill Application: Building daily living skills in the actual bathroom, kitchen, or bedroom where they take place makes routines easier to retain.
- Reduced Sensory Overload: Avoiding busy waiting rooms and travel time keeps your child’s energy focused entirely on their therapy session.
- Family-Centered Coaching: Parents, caregivers, and siblings can active participate in sessions, learning practical strategies to integrate into daily life.
- Flexibility & Access: Telehealth offers seamless continuation of care, ensuring sessions happen even when traveling or managing tight schedules across Perth.
Empowering Independence: Paediatric Occupational Therapy (OT)
Occupational Therapy helps children gain independence in everyday tasks—or their “occupations.” For neurodivergent children (including those with Autism, ADHD, or sensory processing differences), OT focuses on building self-confidence, functional mobility, and emotional resilience.
Our paediatric OTs collaborate with families to work on key developmental milestones, including:
- Fine & Gross Motor Skills: Strengthening hand muscle control for writing, cutting with scissors, buttoning shirts, balancing, and overall spatial awareness.
- Attention & Self-Regulation: Developing self-calming strategies, focus tools, and routines that help children manage big emotions and stay engaged during school or play.
- Daily Living Skills (ADLs): Practicing self-care routines such as dressing, hygiene, eating independently, and organizing personal belongings.
- Sensory Processing & Behavioral Support: Identifying sensory triggers (hyper- or hypo-sensitivity to touch, sound, or movement) and creating sensory-friendly environments that minimize stress.
Through play-based and strength-focused interventions, our goal is to help every child navigate home, school, and community environments with ease.
Nourishing Potential: Paediatric Dietetics & Health Support
Nutrition plays a vital role in physical development, mood regulation, and long-term health. However, many neurodivergent children experience sensory sensitivities surrounding food textures, smells, or colors, which can lead to restricted diets and mealtime stress.
Our accredited paediatric dietitians take a gentle, stress-free approach to nutrition, offering targeted support across several key areas:
1. Paediatric Nutrition & Selective Eating
Fussy eating goes beyond basic picky habits when sensory issues or oral-motor difficulties are involved. We provide gentle strategies to expand food variety, eliminate mealtime battles, and address feeding concerns safely.
2. Gut Health & Digestive Care
Gut health and neurodiversity are closely connected. We provide specialized dietary management for Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), food intolerances, constipation, and overall digestive comfort.
3. Metabolic & Health Management
We offer comprehensive nutrition plans tailored for Type 2 diabetes, insulin resistance, pre-diabetes, and cardiovascular health (managing cholesterol and blood pressure).
4. Holistic & Lifespan Support
In addition to paediatric care, our dietetics service supports broader family health needs, including weight management (including support alongside GLP-1 medications), disordered eating support, chronic disease management, and women’s health (PCOS and hormonal support).
How NDIS Funding Works with Mobile Therapy Services

We work alongside:
- Self-Managed NDIS Participants: Allowing you direct flexibility to choose your providers and claim invoices easily.
