Assessment
An individualised assessment is completed based on the child's needs to identify strengths and areas requiring support made up of formal and informal assessments. Time and cost of an assessment will vary and be based on individual needs. A report will be provided outlining goals, strategies and recommendations should ongoing support be indicated.
therapy
Based on the outcome of your child’s assessment and the goals identified and prioritised with their family, a therapy plan will be developed. This may include individual sessions with our therapist, here in the clinic, offsite, groups or working with an Allied Health Assistant.
Therapy sessions are often play-based and tailored to each child’s needs. This can involve using games, activities, and adaptations to help children improve their skills and confidence in everyday tasks.
ALLIED HEALTH​ ASSISTANTS
Our Allied Health Assistants (AHAs) are an option for some children to receive cost-effective, intensive therapy support. After an initial assessment and report delivered by one of our clinicians, a therapy program is written and tailored to the individual child, to be delivered by our AHAs.
GROUPs
Our groups are conducted both at the clinic and within our local community, with each participant having both group and individual goals. Our groups provide a supportive environment to:
- Practice engaging with others
- Facilitate peer learning
- Develop social communication skills
- Build play skills
- Foster emotional regulation skills
- Facilitate community engagement
- Encourage motor skill development
- Provide meaningful context for skill development
- Support opportunities for language use and development
We also offer school holiday programs. Please contact the clinic for more information about these programs.
