How are services provided?
Novita designs services for a particular region area in response to the needs of families and the local community. All regional areas vary in relation to:
- the numbers of children registered with Novita, and their families living in the area
- the availability of local therapy services,
- the supports for children and families available in the local community
- the distance of the regional area from Adelaide to access specialist services.
Therefore, Novita services are provided in a variety of ways. Visits to a regional area generally take place up to 4 times per year (once per school term), depending on need, and may involve a day trip in some instances or last for 2 to 3 days in others.
The service provided by the visiting Novita team may involve a combination of:
- Information, resources and support to local therapists
- Direct input to the client, family and community (in the absence of local supports)
- Information and training activities on a range of topics
- Telephone contact between visits
- Provision of selected services in Adelaide (such as specialised equipment provision).
What staff are able to visit?
The visiting Novita team consists of experienced therapists – the team may include a:
- Physiotherapist
- Occupational therapist
- Speech pathologist
- Psychologist
