Children's Podiatry Clinics is proud to be partnering with Neurodiverse Playhouse to offer Melbourne's first neuroaffirming tailored playhouse for Autistic, neurodivergent and neurotypical children.

We're redefining podiatry with a whole-child approach—incorporating primitive reflex integration, sensory regulation, movement-based therapy, and a deep understanding of how the feet connect with gross and fine motor development, attention, balance, and executive function.

Collaborating with therapists to support motor skill development and regulation

Working in child-friendly, indoor and outdoor therapy spaces

Empowering families with education and take-home movement programs
