Auckland based
Occupational Therapy Clinic
Although we are a small kiwi business we are in the business of fostering relationships with our families to allow the children to reach their full potential.
Our approach
The Move Room is a private paediatric occupational therapy clinic working with children and young adults. The Move Room offers a range of support and therapy for our clients and their families with the idea that what was targeted in session is also implemented at home to generalize the skills needed to reach their full potential. All of our therapists have a minimum of five years experience and are constantly up-skilling to provide the most current and effective therapy possible.
The Move Room is the partner clinic to The Speech Room. Caroline (the Director of both The Speech Room and The Move Room) had a vision of providing a private therapy service for children and their families where they were able to receive quality input using a holistic approach. She wanted to have a variety of Therapists to support the development of each individual that walks through the door together as a team. By having an OT and SLT this has allowed the team to provide their best service possible.
So what’s the meaning behind the logo you ask?
When going through the logo design process one thing Caroline wanted to incorporate was a hint of New Zealand Sign Language (NZSL) as this is very close to her heart. And in the end the image that is used in the logo is the sign for “therapy” in NZSL. The Speech Room wants to embrace NZSL whenever and wherever possible (Caroline is by no means an NZSL tutor however she uses NZSL on a daily basis).
Laura is a passionate and dedicated professional who demonstrates a wealth of knowledge and experience of working with families and individuals with special needs. We were very fortunate to have Laura supporting and working with our son in both an educational setting and in private therapy sessions. Her bubbly and positive approach always helped put our son at ease during his one on one swimming lessons. She could skilfully extend lessons in a fun and interactive way to help build his skill level. Laura was respectful and caring in all her interactions with our family and built a wonderful rapport with our boy. She was attentive to any concerns that we had regarding our son's development and always on hand to offer advice for ways that we could support our son's sensory and developmental needs. I am extremely grateful for Laura's amazing support and highly recommend her services and expertise to any family who may need occupational therapy or carer support for their child. She has been a pleasure to work with. — Gafa Maiava
We have been lucky enough to have Caro as our sons speech therapist for the last 2.5 years. In my opinion the key to any great speech therapist is to engage the child’s interest and build the learning around that. Caro is amazing at this skill and always adapts her practice to fit within the childs world. She has guided our beautiful non verbal boy from a place where had had to rely on our instinct - to a place where he can demonstrate via assistive technology that he is intelligent beyond his age level. She has helped him find his “voice” and we can not recommend her highly enough. — Kate
