Toni To – Occupational Therapist
Hi there, my name is Toni and I have over 25 years’ experience as an Occupational Therapist in both hospitals and education settings including state, private and special schools. I’m passionate about working with children and their families so they can achieve extraordinary outcomes.
I believe that with the right tools and skills, every child is capable of participating fully in their everyday occupations of life. I’m patient with children and families and believe every child should be given the opportunity and support they need to thrive. I evaluate a child’s skills for activities, school performance and everyday living tasks, and use creative problem-solving to help them fully engage and participate in all aspects of their daily life. At Twinkle Toes Therapy, children learn through play.
I believe occupational therapy helps you live your best life at home, at work, at school and everywhere else. I help my clients overcome the barriers stopping them from doing the things they need to do and want to do in their day-to-day lives.
I look beyond the diagnosis to hopes and aspirations. I believe that children can achieve and their disabilities don’t need to define or limit them.
Samantha Cervellin – Physiotherapist
My name is Samantha but most people just call me Sam! I have over 12 years working in education to support children of all abilities. I also have experience working with children in an acute inpatient setting in hospitals. My passion is working with children to support and develop their movement, strength and posture in order to maximise their access, participation and enjoyment in daily activities.
As a parent of two young children with a disability, I appreciate the importance of finding the correct services and support. I believe that all children, regardless of their abilities and differences, have potential, and should be given the opportunity to realise and reach their full potential. To help children achieve their goals I will conduct a comprehensive assessment and develop individualised treatment programs to assist them to be happy, confident and thriving kids.
Being predominantly mobile makes therapy convenient and comfortable. I work with you in the setting that you choose to embrace the natural learning environment and ensure that recommendations can be incorporated into everyday routines.
