Evidence-informed cognitive therapy approach for children.
Structured therapy that uses evidence-based strategies to reduce challenging behaviours and teach new, more helpful ones. Therapists identify the purpose a behaviour serves and design targeted plans to address it across home, school and community settings.
Therapy and group programs that teach children and young people the skills needed to interact effectively with others — such as turn-taking, reading social cues, making conversation and managing conflict. Often delivered in small groups to allow real-life practice with peers.
A therapeutic approach where children express and process emotions, experiences and difficulties through play — their natural language. A play therapist creates a safe space where the child leads and works through challenges at their own pace.
Training to support emotional regulation in children.
Neurofeedback-based therapy using EEG readings and assessment.
A thorough evaluation by a psychologist using standardised tests, interviews and observation to understand a person's cognitive, emotional and behavioural functioning. Results inform diagnosis and guide recommendations for therapy, school adjustments and support services.
NDIS-approved supports, from the Commission register.
