What others are saying about AIM Therapy

I find your service excellent! I like the weekly emails on what my child has been doing and also the follow up with her class teacher. Keep up the great work

Excellent. Asher looks forward to seeing Sophie. Great reliable & immediate feedback.

Sophie and the whole AIM team were always so pleasant – making our visits fun as as therapeutic! Thank you all for helping my son so much this year and equipping us to continue your great work.

My son has had the most wonderful experience with AIM Therapy. He has come such a long way and could not be happier, in actual fact he is sad that he has now been discharged from the program and wishes he could still see his OT Sophie every week!!! I would recommend them over and over again especially Sophiewhat an amazing lady!!!

My Thomas has come in leaps and bounds this year (2018), its a long road ahead but I know he will get there because of all the help and support he is getting from OT! Thank you doesn’t seem enough for how grateful we are to AIM (Sophie) for everything!

AIM OT are fantastic. We choose to go to AIM even though they are a 45 mins drive for us. AIM are one of a small number of paediatric O.T.s in W.A. and are amazing. My daughter has been seeing AIM for years for a variety of reasons. They are willing to do school visits, write detailed reports, liaise with teachers and other specialists. We cannot recommend them highly enough. We’ve worked with several OTs in the team who are equally dedicated… A great service.

Fizzle

Both of my children go to AIM OT and both really enjoy the experience as the sessions are fun. They have learnt so much and can’t wait for their next appointment. We have worked with two of the therapists and find them extremely knowledgeable and passionate about all things OT. They are easy to work with, great to talk to and are totally willing to listen to all of our ideas.

AIM OT provided excellent support and learning for our son that complimented his school based work. The activities were fun and interactive yet achieved the desired outcomes. His development in such a short period of time was amazing to see. If you are looking for an OT I highly recommend AIM OT for your child.

Geoff Xanthis

These fantastic Occupational Therapists have helped my Autistic daughter immensely over the past few years. Great friendly service, communication and the kids love it!

Sabine Symons

Prompt response to my request for assessment. Ability to assess my daughter quickly and schedule regular sessions if required. High level of professionalism, and obvious level of knowledge with regards to children’s development. Natural and friendly manner in which therapist related to my daughter.

Kara Garrett

Starting on the Autism Journey with two children on the spectrum was pretty daunting until I found Claire and the team at AIM OT. At AIM both children have greatly benefited from early intervention therapy, group therapy and since starting in the mainstream system this year, they are now receiving school based therapy with Claire. The difference in both children since they started at AIM is amazing and I will say without a doubt Claire and her team have contributed greatly to their success. Claire is the ultimate professional, she has gone out of her way to support me and the children with any issues great and small. She is extremely dedicated, knowledgeable, hands on and proactive and she passes these attributes onto her team. I would definitely recommend AIM OT to anyone in need of superior Occupational Therapy!

Meagan MacKenzie

My daughter has been struggling with her writing for quite awhile. After only a few sessions at AIM OT her writing has improved greatly. We could see some improvement in pencil control and neatness of her writing even after her first session. Also her teacher at school is saying the improvement has made her more confident in class. Has been really worthwhile for her to do these sessions.

Laith Murray

Thank you for everything you have done to help our son with his sensory and anxiety issues – it has been unsurpassed. You have been extremely caring, supportive and professional. Your innate approach and expertise with dealing with our son is a credit to you and a blessing to us. We cannot thank you enough and would highly recommend AIM Occupational Therapy.

Ray Nat

AIM occupational therapists are highly experienced and skilled therapists. My child thoroughly enjoyed sessions & has benefitted enormously from the input. I would highly recommend them.

Nicole Resnick

Bella-rose is excited to go see Jaimi each time. Jasmine was lovely with the kids at group and they went above and beyond to help me with all my questions etc. have already recommended AIM OT to friends.

Sandra Hansword

They connected with my child, and were able engage and encourage her over a number of weeks, leading to the development of skills and reduced anxiety. They also addressed the issue with me (as the parent) and with my child. This enabled both of us to feel like our concerns were being attended to and an appropriate intervention offered. I think this was particularly important to me given the age and temperament of my child.
