About BillyLids Therapy
At BillyLids Therapy, we do things a little differently. We’re a family-owned clinic, operated by sisters Rachelle, a speech pathologist, and Rosanna, an occupational therapist. BillyLids Therapy was created to provide families access to an inclusive allied health clinic just for children under 10. With clinics in Brisbane and on the Gold Coast, BillyLids Therapy is an enchanting space, where we encourage hopes and dreams and recognise the unique potential of each and every child.
As mums and clinicians with our own experiences in navigating healthcare for our billylids, we wanted BillyLids Therapy to be a paediatric clinic that provided the best possible occupational and speech therapy in one location, with a strong focus on collaboration and connections with care teams and the wider community. And we wanted it to feel like fun, not like another boring doctor’s office!
Just for the little billylids
We’re all about the little ones. BillyLids Therapy caters solely for children aged under 10. Everyone is welcome, regardless of their diagnosis status or the nature of their goals. We support all children, from billylids who just need a little extra support as they grow, right through to complex cases such as children who are non-verbal and non-mobile. As early intervention is one of our specialties, we also welcome children without a diagnosis, or who are still exploring a potential diagnosis.
An enchanting space filled with fun
There’s nothing worse than having to drag an unwilling child to therapy - we want your child to look forward to their visits with us. That’s why we’ve designed a whimsical space where our therapists seamlessly blend learning and play. Our team is skilled at making evidence-based therapeutic techniques fun, creating a playful approach to therapy that recognises and celebrates each child for the individual that they are.
We love getting to know your child’s special interests so we can weave them into our activities.Supporting family goals
This is a place where hopes are encouraged and potential shines. When we care for children, we nurture the whole family.
That’s why family is one of our priorities at BillyLids. While your child will always be our primary focus, we know that supporting and empowering families delivers better outcomes for everyone - you know them and their needs better than anyone, and you play an integral role in their development.
Many of the children who visit us are supported by a broader care team, including specialists, treatment teams, and schools, daycares or kindergartens. We work collaboratively to coordinate, communicate and prioritise therapy goals with you and your child’s care team, helping to reduce the amount of time you need to spend managing and coordinating your child’s care team.
Community visits
Your little person is a valuable member of their community. We want to make it easier for them to engage with the world around them, which is why community and home visits are an important part of our model of care. We love visiting our friends in their own spaces and supporting them at school, kindy or daycare.
book a discovery call
We love creating resources that support your child in their community, and assist their teachers and carers to help them get involved and shine.
Often we find that the support and resources that meet the needs of our smallest clients often make spaces more accessible and supportive for other children, too.
