At COMO Therapy we incorporate the valuable role of our qualified Allied Health Assistants (AHAs) into your child’s care. AHAs not only improve therapy outcomes, but also help balance the cost of therapy - ensuring that high-quality care remains accessible to all families.
What Does An Allied Health Assistant Do?
As a parent, you want the best for your child, especially when it comes to their development and reaching their goals. AHAs work alongside physiotherapists, occupational therapists, and speech therapists to deliver your child's therapy programs, making therapy more accessible, impactful and cost-effective.
At COMO Therapy, our AHAs are an essential part of your child’s care team. Under the guidance of Allied Health Professionals (AHPs), they implement tailored therapy programs, including weekly, intensive or DMI sessions. AHAs play a key role in maintaining continuity between sessions, ensuring your child receives consistent, hands-on support, building their confidence and independence through exercises and activities that improve skills, boost physical development and help them to achieve their therapy goals.
Balancing Costs While Achieving Goals
We understand that therapy can sometimes feel financially challenging, especially with changes in funding like NDIS plan reductions. At COMO Therapy, we believe that high-quality therapy should remain within reach. AHAs act as a crucial bridge, providing regular, affordable therapy. One of their key benefits is that they can work independently on many tasks under AHP supervision, allowing your child to receive more frequent sessions without adding extra pressure on your budget. This ensures continued progress without compromising the quality of care.
At COMO Therapy, we’re committed to providing personalised care that helps your child reach their full potential while offering flexible options that meet your family’s needs.
