Caught up for an initial assessment with Miss Schmidt in Kotara and left feeling heaps more confident about managing my son's messy handwriting. She broke down fine motor exercises into simple steps we can do at home, and her recommendations for adaptive grips were spot on. Highly recommend for practical, kid-friendly OT support.
Very thorough OT session at U 22 Fl 1 10 Bradford C. Alison explained energy conservation techniques that finally helped my grandmother move around the house without exhausting herself. We now have a simple daily routine and a couple of adaptive tools that make a real difference.
Grateful to have found Alison Schmidt in Newcastle’s Kotara area. Her approach to developing strategies for daily living activities is practical and compassionate. My daughter enjoys the activities and we’ve seen steady progress with her fine motor skills.
Went in unsure about whether my eldest needed OT support, but Alison’s guidance regarding energy conservation and task planning was a game changer. The equipment recommendations were thoughtful and affordable. Would definitely recommend to families around Newcastle.
Miss Schmidt explained everything in plain language and provided easy-to-follow exercises we can do at home. The adaptive equipment advice was practical and not pushy. A very positive experience in Kotara that helped us set clear goals.
Relieved to find an OT who really listens. Alison tailored a plan for my wife that included daily living strategies and hands-on activities to boost fine motor control. We’re already seeing small wins and feel supported.
Fantastic sessions with Alison in Kotara. She made therapy engaging for my teenager and provided measurable goals, plus energy-saving tips that fit our busy schedule. Would recommend to any family in the Newcastle region.
