At Love Zebra Occupational Therapy, our mission is to empower school-aged children to thrive and achieve their goals through tailored, evidence-based occupational therapy strategies.
Each young person is unique, and we celebrate their individuality by creating playful and personalised approaches that resonate with their interests and developmental needs.
We believe that families are an integral part of the therapy process. Parents and guardians know their children better than anyone else; they are the most powerful advocates for their young ones' therapy needs.
