• Your first visit

  An initial assessment begins the process, where skilled therapists undertake a range of assessments to help gain an accurate understanding of your child's needs. This may include cognitive assessment, functional capacity assessment, movement assessment, nutrition assessment, or speech and language skills assessment depending on your concerns. Following the assessment, a treatment plan is developed to guide ongoing therapy. The goal is to provide you with a clear understanding of your child's needs and create a pathway for therapeutic support tailored to their specific situation.
