MONTROSE HILLS THERAPY
Progress, no matter how gradual, is significant. Even the smallest step contributes to growth.
Welcome to Montrose Hills Therapy, we're so glad you found us!​
​
Supporting people with disability to build confidence, independence, and meaningful participation in everyday life.
​
Montrose Hills Therapy provides Developmental Education, Behaviour Support, Equine & Animal-Assisted Therapy and Assessments & Reports for children, young people, and adults across the Whitsundays and Brisbane.
​
Every person is unique. We take the time to understand the whole person their strengths, goals, communication, preferences, environment, and what matters most to them.
​
Our Approach
At Montrose Hills Therapy, we believe support begins with understanding the person, not just the diagnosis, disability, or behaviour. ​Using a strengths-based, person-centred, trauma-informed, and inclusive approach, we recognise each person's unique strengths, goals, preferences, and journey.
​
We work collaboratively with individuals, families, and support teams to build skills, confidence, independence, and meaningful participation in everyday life. ​There is no one-size-fits-all approach. Supports are personalised, practical, and designed around each person's needs, goals, and the life they want to live.
​
The combination of Developmental Education and Behaviour Support expertise allows us to look beyond challenges and focus on building capacity, understanding communication, supporting relationships, and creating environments where people can thrive.
