Welcome to Move Play Learn
Building a brighter future for children, one step at a time.
Sara is a paediatric occupational therapist with 13 years of experience supporting children and young people to thrive in their everyday lives.
Her approach is play-based, strengths-focused, and neuro-affirming, which means sessions are built around your child, not a one-size-fits-all program.
Move Play Learn is a paediatric occupational therapy clinic in South Morang, supporting children and young people to participate confidently in the everyday activities that matter most—at home, at school and in the community.
Is this sounding familiar?
Every child is different, but you might recognise some of these challenges...
Big emotions that seem to come out of nowhere
Getting dressed is a daily struggle
Getting to, staying at or coping with school feels impossible
Socks, clothing or certain textures cause distress
Mealtimes are stressful
Handwriting is becoming frustrating or hurting
Everything gets lost or forgotten
Making or keeping friends is difficult
Toileting isn't going as expected
Getting out the door on time feels impossible
Moving from one activity to another is hard
Always on the go
Your child is losing confidence
Change is really hard
Helping children starts with understanding them.
Sara is a paediatric occupational therapist with over 13 years of experience supporting children, young people and their families. Her approach is warm, collaborative and neurodiversity-affirming, with a strong focus on understanding each child's unique strengths and supporting meaningful participation in everyday life.

Beyond the Therapy Room
Practical strategies that help children thrive at home, school and in the community.
A Place to Feel Safe, Supported and Understood
Every part of the clinic has been thoughtfully designed to help children feel safe, supported and ready to engage—because therapy works best when children feel comfortable being themselves.
What Might a Session Look Like?
No two sessions look the same, because no two children are the same.
Your child might be building an obstacle course, creating something with their hands, solving a challenge, exploring sensory experiences or chatting while playing a game. Whatever captures their interest becomes an opportunity to build meaningful skills.
We follow your child's lead while working towards goals that matter to your family, creating a space where children feel safe, understood and excited to come back.
Therapy often looks like play — but every activity has a purpose.
Play-Based
Children learn best when they're engaged, curious and having fun.
Child-Led
Every session is guided by your child's strengths, interests and goals.
Purposeful
Every activity is thoughtfully chosen to build meaningful skills for everyday life.
Collaborative
We work alongside parents because meaningful progress happens together.
