Our approach
Hopalong partners with parents and teachers to deliver therapy in a fun and dynamic way, using the latest research-based options tailored to each child's unique needs. Sessions take place in a purpose-built therapy sensory gymnasium designed to engage children in meaningful activities that accelerate their outcomes. The focus is on making therapy an enjoyable experience where children look forward to attending, rather than seeing it as hard work. Hopalong offers flexible session options including after-school, Saturday, and home or school-based appointments to suit family schedules.
Working with families
Hopalong partners with parents and teachers, involving them as active participants in their child's therapy journey. The service communicates outcomes and progress through individually tailored programs and demonstrates visible changes in children's confidence, calmness, and skill development. Parents receive comprehensive recommendations following assessments, and the team supports families through flexible appointment options to fit their schedules. The centre also provides free resources and tools to help parents track their child's progress in key developmental areas.
Your first visit
At the initial appointment, Hopalong conducts a comprehensive assessment using the latest assessment tools to develop a thorough understanding of your child's strengths and needs. This process forms the basis for creating a comprehensive plan and personalised recommendations to meet your child's individual goals. The service also offers a complimentary 15-minute meet and greet to help families get to know the team before committing to a full assessment. Assessments are conveniently scheduled on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays at either the Peakhurst or Newington clinics.
