SPOT is an interdisciplinary children's therapy centre offering Speech, Physio and Occupational Therapy as well as Counselling, Mental Health and Psychology services.  All SPOT therapists are caring, competent, fully qualified and committed to continuing professional development. Our practice offers an understanding-based, child-centred and family-focused atmosphere. Services are developmental, meaningful and fun. Through creative activities, we meet each child’s individual needs.

SPOT encourages children to grow, learn, explore and develop positive self-esteem. SPOT is located in Central and in Wong Chuk Hang, Hong Kong. The centre has purpose built motor therapy rooms for children to participate in sensory and group activities, as well as customised private rooms for individual sessions.

Each child is a unique complex individual, with strengths and challenges, who deserves to be treated as such. Therefore, we believe Speech, Physio and Occupational Therapies, and Mental Health and Psychology support, are important on their own, as well as in conjunction with each other. We focus on a dynamic, systems, team approach in treating the WHOLE CHILD. The SPOT Centre is a paediatric rehab facility serving a multitude of populations and disorders. Our staff works together to provide these services to our surrounding community.
