About The OT Store

The OT Store is an Australian owned and operated online retailer that sells Occupational Therapy (OT) approved resources for children of all ages to assist with their learning and development.

We are a small, family-owned business, owned and operated by a husband and wife team, who share a vision for making a positive impact on the lives of children and families. Our values and commitment to this are shown through our partnerships with local communities, sourcing Australian products, working with Allied Health providers and organisations that support and share our vision.

Melissa and Charles Scheuber are parents of three unique and amazing boys, Addison 15, Preston 13 and Jasper 11. The boys are just one of the reasons we are so passionate about early learning and OT recourses. At the OT Store, we recognise that all children are different and having the right tools is essential to bringing out their very best. The boys enjoy working in our Research & Development team, testing new resources, helping to pack orders for our customers and seeing their Mum and Dad helping others through their work with The OT Store and partners.

Melissa has always been passionate for early learning and education, believing the first 5 years of life are extremely important developmentally for children. Hands on experience raising her own children places her with a unique perspective.  Her boys attended a Montessori kindergarten, that saw their gifted abilities harnessed and their independence blossom. Through their schooling years the children faced challenges with anxiety and special needs, that furthermore emphasised the need for OT resources and the impact they can make in a child’s life. Mel believes in tailoring education to the child and is currently home-schooling via distance education, her youngest son, Jasper. Many of the OT resources sold by the OT Store have become everyday necessities for our home classroom.

The OT Store’s products have been curated in conjunction with qualified Paediatric Occupational Therapists, specialising in developmental trauma, learning delays, and sensory processing. All resources available at the OT Store are an OT approved collection aimed to assist in developing foundation skills for children including regulation, sensory processing, thinking, motor, social and play.

Charles has spent most of his career in Information Technology, leadership and management roles. Like Melissa, his family, children and their needs are his number one priority. His years of business experience is complimentary to helping manage the day-to-day operations for The OT Store, ensuring OT Store customers have the best possible experience.
