Australia

Develop Occupational Therapy – is an Adelaide based occupational therapy practice that aims to support children, youth, and young adults who have functional difficulties that impact on their ability to participate in their daily activities. These difficulties may be due to developmental delays or disorders, identified disabilities (e.g. cerebral palsy, autism) or injury ( e.g. hand injury, acquired brain injury).
