About us
​At Nurture Allied Health SA, we are dedicated to providing evidence-based, trauma-informed, and neuroaffirming Speech Pathology and Occupational Therapy services to children in Adelaide, South Australia.
Our team is committed to improving the well-being of our clients through our specialized health services that are focused on the Adelaide area, including the northern eastern suburbs of Adelaide. We have a strong focus on providing compassionate and inclusive services that are respectful, culturally competent, trauma-sensitive, and empathetic.
Our approach
The Nurture Team aim to presume competence, respect the child's sensory differences, and body autonomy. We respect Neurodiversity and follow recommendations given by the autistic community. Neurodiversity affirming approaches are at the core of what we do. We are always learning more about the neurodiversity movement and changing the way we work to align better with neurodiversity affirming practices and be a strong ally for neurodivergents. We do not use/engage in compliance training in therapy as it has been reported by the autistic community that it is trauma-inducing (often leading to PTSD).
We adopt strength-based and trauma-informed approaches and reporting, and work on neurodiversity affirming goals (such as self-advocacy).
