• Our approach

  The clinic uses evidence-based treatment approaches and emphasises continuous professional development to provide quality care. Sessions focus on coaching parents to develop skills they can apply across different environments to support their child. A short feedback period is provided at the end of each therapy session to discuss progress. The team works collaboratively with families, schools, and other professionals to maximise each child's potential and support their communication and daily living skills.

• Working with families

  Parents and carers are actively involved in therapy through coaching in skills that can be applied across different environments at home, school, and in the community. A short feedback period is dedicated at the end of each session to discuss what was covered and progress made. The therapist will provide guidance on activities to conduct at home to ensure consistency and repetition, tailored to your child's diagnosis and therapy frequency. Client support coordinators are available to discuss your concerns and help match you with the right therapist if needed.
