Welcome to Connect Occupational Therapy

UPDATE 3 NOV 2026: CASELOAD CLOSED FOR 2026

If you are looking for occupational therapy for your child, other providers you can contact in Christchurch are PerVigeo and Socially Speaking.

We help families feel and do their best, by using a sensory-based approach.


Serving both parents and children online and in person (Otautahi/Christchurch, Aotearoa/New Zealand), we provide parent consults, online education, and individual paediatric occupational therapy. 

We help families to:

  • Improve specific concerns to do with coordination, sensory processing, dyspraxia, anxiety, and emotional regulation, with in-person paediatric therapy.

  • Develop a "sensory lifestyle", so that parents and children can feel and do their best. See our course The In-Tune Parent for more information.

  • Overcome auditory sensitivity and promote calm for the nervous system by using The Safe and Sound Protocol

Fill your parenting toolbox with our online course!

Use our popular online course The In-Tune Parent to access expert advice in the comfort of your own home.

Our framework can help you as a parent of 2 - 8 year olds be able to: 
  • get your kids playing independently
  • bring calm to your household with expert knowledge on the sensory systems  
  • manage and decrease your children's meltdowns using sensory strategies

Parents have told us that they like being able to complete the course in their own time and refer back to it as their children grow.

Will you be the next family to join them?
