Occupational Therapy for Children
At Hop-a-long we provide child-centred Occupational Therapy therapy, tailored to your child’s specific needs, assisting them to reach their full potential. Hop-a-long is a privately owned practice in the Port Stephen’s area, where we aim to provide an SI-NDT blending intervention approach with a focus on FUN and achieving goals.
Under the leadership of Marga Marloth, we have extensive experience in assessing and treating young children with an array of difficulties. We are passionate about early intervention as we believe it can change a child’s developmental path and improve outcomes for children and their families when neuroplasticity is optimal.
