About Us

Adapt and Learn is a privately owned and run Paediatric Therapies service with fun and connection at the forefront of every session. We incorporate Occupational Therapy and Speech Language Pathology within a family-based and collaborative environment. As parents of two neurodivergent children, we recognise that every child is different, with each day providing its own challenges. We are dedicated to helping our families through these difficult, yet rewarding, times and provide therapies to support each individual child on their own journey. We believe that parents are the experts in their own children, and we love working closely and collaboratively with families in a supportive and nurturing environment.

We currently offer community-based therapies in and around Brisbane, Logan and the Scenic Rim, working with a diverse paediatric caseload with a strong focus on genuine capacity building and working towards meaningful functional goals with individuals. Our clinic in Ashmore, Gold Coast, opened in January 2025 to offer clinic-based therapies to our list!
