Specialist Allied Health Services for NSW Schools

Specialist Allied Health Services for Schools

The Specialist Allied Health and Behaviour Support Provider Scheme is a government initiative that allows NSW public schools to easily access pre-qualified allied health professionals, such as speech pathologists, occupational therapists, and behaviour practitioners. This initiative supports students with learning difficulties or complex needs by providing funding to bring these services directly into schools.

At LiveBig, we are a registered Allied Health provider approved by the NSW Department of Education (DOE) to deliver Specialist Allied Health Services to schools. We offer a range of services, including face-to-face or telehealth programs in:

Our team can deliver tailored programs to your school, whether in a whole-class format or through individual or small group sessions. These programs are designed to enhance handwriting skills, support language development, and provide effective behavioural management strategies.

What do Support in Schools activities include:

Our Support in schools services are always tailored to you as an individual and are evidence-based. They are unique to each person’s goals.

In class teaching

Our therapists can support entire classrooms and run exercises and lessons to address various learning impairments. This provides a great opportunity to offer therapeutic intervention to many students simultaneously. This also allows for upskilling of teachers in strategies to address learning impairments.

Small group therapy

Our therapists can group students with similar goals or impairments and run small group therapy to 3-6 students. This provides a more focused intervention for students to ensure they are progressing toward their goals.

Individual student support

this is one on one support and varies depending on the requirements of each student. It could include Phonological awareness, Social/Pragmatic Skills, Receptive and Expressive Language Skills, Fine and gross motor skills, handwriting
