Allied Health Assistant (AHA) Support at Moving Mountains Village
Sometimes children need just a little more consistency, practice, or support between OT sessions to help their progress take shape. That’s where our Allied Health Assistants (AHAs) come in.
Could an AHA be a helpful addition for your child?
Is your child finding it tricky to complete home practice tasks regularly?
Are you looking to build consistency between therapy sessions to support stronger outcomes?
Are you waiting for more regular sessions with your OT?
Would your child benefit from sessions in the home, school, or community to help them apply skills more naturally?
Does your child have motor or daily living goals that could be supported while waiting for a therapy spot?
Our AHAs work under the guidance of our occupational therapists to help bridge the gap and keep your child’s momentum going.
How Our AHAs Can Help
Supporting Therapy Activities
Our AHAs guide children through therapist designed activities that support their motor, sensory, play, and self-care goals. These sessions give children the chance to practise at the right intensity and rhythm, helping to embed their learning.
Encouraging Skill Generalisation
We support children to apply their skills in everyday routines—at home, in the classroom, or out in the community. Whether it’s practising fine motor tasks at school or building independence with daily routines, our AHAs are there to reinforce what’s learned in therapy in real-life contexts.
Collaborating with Families and Educators
AHAs can work alongside parents and educators, offering regular touchpoints to support shared strategies and build everyone’s confidence in helping the child progress. This helps create consistency and connection across all parts of the child’s world.
Monitoring Progress and Keeping the Team Informed
Our AHAs take notes and track each child’s progress during sessions, keeping the OT team updated so that strategies can be adjusted and refined as needed. This ensures your child continues to receive the right support at the right time.
