Speech, occupational therapy and behaviour support in Riverstone

Riverstone blends one of the oldest towns in the north-west with new estates on its edges, so the team meets a wide mix of households: families settling into a first home, grandparents caring for young children, and adults who have lived in the area for decades.

Speech pathology and occupational therapy requests from Riverstone most often relate to children starting preschool or school, and to adults working on daily living skills after a change in health or circumstances. Positive Behaviour Support is delivered with the whole support network involved.

When clinic travel is difficult, the Marsden Park team can consider sessions at home, at an early learning centre or at school in Riverstone, or by telehealth, once suitability has been confirmed.

Getting to the clinic. The Marsden Park clinic on Hollinsworth Road is roughly a five-minute drive from central Riverstone via Garfield Road, and Riverstone station is on the Richmond line for anyone travelling without a car.
