Our Services at AEIOU – More Ways to Support Children

At AEIOU, we believe every child deserves the right support to grow, learn, and thrive. That’s why our Occupational Therapists do more than one type of therapy. We offer a suite of services that meet children where they are.

Our Services – More Ways to Make a Difference
At AEIOU, we meet children where they are, offering a range of services to support their unique journey:

• Early Intervention Program
  Our group-based early intervention program is the heart of AEIOU. Here, children learn key skills for communication, play, and daily life in a supportive and structured setting. By working together in groups, children build language, confidence, and friendships.
• School Support (SDSS Program)
  Through the Specialist Disability Support in Schools (SDSS) Program, funded by the Queensland Government, our therapists partner with schools to deliver in-class therapy, teacher coaching, and practical strategies that help students thrive.
• Therapy Services
  Individualised sessions funded privately or through the NDIS, focused on each child’s specific goals—from speech development to social connection.
