Leading Lights Early Intervention comprises of health and education staff. Most of our therapy is delivered through fun and playful experiences. Play is a very effective way to provide children with positive therapy experiences that work to assist new neural pathways to develop in the brain. This can assist multiple areas of brain functioning including supporting trauma recovery, Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADHD, sensory processing speed, anxiety and depression. We combine mainstream therapy with real experience and other alternative, professional intervention, and believe in meeting each child for who they are and in their space- they are quite simply the leading lights.

Positive Behaviour Therapy
Overview :
The goal is to improve the person’s life by focusing on their strengths and encouraging positive actions. Positive Behaviour
Support helps by understanding why your child behaves in a challenging way and finding ways to meet their needs.
We consider strategies such as changing the environment, setting up routines or teaching new skills.
Occupational Therapy
Overview :
Occupational therapy (OT) is a dynamic field that focuses on helping individuals develop, recover, or maintain the skills needed for daily life activities. For children, this means improving abilities that are essential for school, play, socializing, and self-care. Pediatric occupational therapists work with kids to enhance fine motor skills, sensory processing, coordination, and cognitive function, supporting their overall development.
In the pediatric sphere, OT is especially beneficial for children with conditions like autism, ADHD, developmental delays, or physical disabilities. Therapists use engaging, child-friendly strategies to address challenges, fostering independence and boosting self-confidence. Whether it’s teaching a child how to tie their shoes, managing sensory sensitivities, or improving social skills, OT equips children with the tools they need to thrive. Ultimately, occupational therapy helps children lead more fulfilling, functional, and enjoyable lives by empowering them to navigate their world with greater ease and confidence.
Integrative Developmental Specialist (Formerly Key Worker)
Overview :
At Leading Lights Early Intervention, our Integrative Developmental Specialist Model provides families with one highly trained and qualified professional who becomes the consistent connection between the child, family and wider support team. Our Integrative Developmental Specialists bring professional qualifications, post-graduate training and years of experience across areas including child development, education, psychology, counselling, social work, play therapy and neuroscience, enabling them to understand the whole child rather than one area of development in isolation. As a child’s needs change, specialist professionals such as Speech Pathologists, Occupational Therapists, Behaviour Support Practitioners, Counsellors, Social Workers and Nutrition professionals can move in and out of their care, while the Integrative Developmental Specialist remains the consistent point of connection—working directly with the child and family, collaborating with therapists and schools, integrating recommendations and translating specialist knowledge into practical strategies for everyday life. This uniquely integrative approach reduces fragmented care and ensures that home, school, family and therapy are working together toward shared goals for the child.
Group Programs
Overview :
We offer a range of group programs designed to support your child’s development in a fun and engaging group setting. Through play and peer interaction, children build social skills, strengthen emotional regulation, develop communication skills, and grow in confidence. Group sessions provide valuable opportunities to practise skills from individual therapy — and it’s often where we see them truly “click.” Groups are facilitated by experienced therapists, Key Workers and allied health assistants, and are tailored to suit different developmental stages. We create inclusive groups where every child is supported to participate in their own way, helping them feel safe, confident and connected.
