Peaches Occupational Therapy provides paediatric occupational therapy on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast, supporting children to build confidence, independence and participation in everyday life. Based in Maroochydore, the practice offers appointments at its clinic, as well as visits to homes, schools and community settings, and telehealth.

Therapy supports children with sensory needs and emotional regulation, daily routines and personal care, fine motor skills and handwriting, movement and coordination, play and participation, and attention and executive functioning. Support is tailored to each child’s strengths, interests and family priorities. Peaches uses a family-centred, strengths-based and neurodiversity-affirming approach, incorporating play and meaningful activities into therapy. The team collaborates with families, educators and other professionals to develop practical, personalised strategies for everyday settings.

Families can begin by submitting an enquiry; the team then discusses availability and suitable therapist options. An initial appointment focuses on understanding the child, family priorities and activities where support is needed. For feeding and mealtime difficulties, Peaches directs families to Cove Feeding Hub, which provides multidisciplinary services combining occupational therapy and speech pathology.
