Therapy Assistant

Our Therapy Assistants bring heart, creativity, and consistency to the therapy journey, and they play an important role in helping children get the most out of their sessions.

About Therapy Assistant

Therapy Assistants are a valued part of the team at The Finding Group. They work under the guidance and supervision of our qualified therapists to support children in achieving their communication, learning, and development goals.

They play an important role in helping therapy plans come to life—providing consistent, engaging, and tailored support that complements the work done in specialist sessions.

What Do Therapy Assistants Do?

Therapy Assistants work one-on-one with children in our clinic, at school, or at home. Their role is to deliver therapy activities that have been carefully designed by a supervising therapist. These sessions help children practise and consolidate skills in a way that’s fun, supportive, and goal-oriented.

Our Therapy Assistants:

Implement therapy plans designed by a qualified Speech-Language or Occupational Therapist
Build warm, trusting relationships with children
Create playful, motivating sessions that align with each child’s interests
Offer consistent support, especially when children need more frequent input
Communicate progress back to the lead therapist to help guide next steps

Our Process

Assessment and Plan Development

A qualified therapist will carry out the initial assessment and create a tailored therapy plan based on your child’s needs and goals.

Therapy Assistant Sessions Begin

A Therapy Assistant is matched with your child to deliver regular sessions based on the therapy plan. These may be in-clinic, at home, or in educational settings.

Supervision and Collaboration

The lead therapist checks in regularly with the Therapy Assistant to review progress, provide guidance, and adjust activities as needed.

Family Communication and Support

You’ll receive regular updates and have opportunities to share feedback, ask questions, and be part of your child’s journey.

The benefits of Therapy Assistant

Therapy Assistants can offer consistent sessions between visits with a specialist therapist—great for building momentum and confidence.

Because they work under supervision, Therapy Assistant sessions are often a more affordable way to access high-quality, personalised support.

They often work with children in natural settings like home or school, which helps reinforce skills where they’re used most.

Our Therapy Assistants are carefully chosen for their warmth, energy, and ability to connect meaningfully with children and young people.

Children benefit from a team approach, with the Therapy Assistant and lead therapist working closely together to support progress.
