About
Little Stepping Stones
Holistic therapy to empower your child
At Little Stepping Stones Allied Health Centre, every small victory your child makes is worth celebrating—because those “little steps” build the path to lifelong confidence and independence.
Founded in Melbourne, we specialise exclusively in paediatric speech and occupational therapy for children aged 0 to 12, providing evidence-based assessment and intervention tailored to each family’s goals.
We support your child in achieving their full potential by improving their independence in everyday life skills thorugh our holistic and family-centred services.
We pride ourselves on empowering our clients and caregivers to take steps towards their goals.
Why Parents Love Our Approach
Holistic & Personalised Solutions
We believe in comprehensive solutions for the ideal outcome, which is why we offer joint speech and occupational therapy sessions.
We recognise neurodiverse children's needs and embrace their strengths and uniqueness when developing a support plan.
Prepare for Future Milestones
We plan and communicate with teachers and other staff to prepare your child for big steps like starting school.
We check in regularly with you even after the therapy sessions to ensure everything is going well.
Culturally Sensitive Team
We understand the role of culture in the success of our support plans. Our staff are sensitive to the needs of different family cultures.
Our team is also fluent in Cantonese, Arabic, Greek and Mandarin.
Family & Relationship Focus
We guide you to understand your child's needs and help build stronger family connections.
We respect parents’ decisions about whether to get an official diagnosis for their child. We focus on positive outcomes without pushing for labels.
