Assessments
We take a multi-disciplinary approach to conducting assessments, working with medical health professionals in collaboration to identify the child’s difficulties and determine whether the child is presenting with a particular developmental disorder.
Therapy/Counselling
Therapy is the process of exploring thoughts and feelings to identify emotional problems which may interfere with a child’s development. Emotional distress is children can be difficult to recognise and manifest in behavioural problems or anxiety.
Educational Support
It is beneficial to work collaboratively with a child’s teacher, teacher aides, Principals and parents to develop individualised strategies to maximise learning potential and participation in the school environment.
