Our approach

Hopalong partners with parents and teachers to deliver therapy solutions in a fun and dynamic way. Sessions are designed based on the latest research to meet each child's unique needs. The centre uses a purpose-built sensory gymnasium where children engage in activities that are both enjoyable and meaningful, accelerating their therapy outcomes. The focus is on making therapy an experience children look forward to, rather than feeling like hard work. Each child's program is tailored to their individual goals, with therapists providing encouragement and support throughout sessions.

Working with families

Hopalong partners with parents and teachers throughout the therapy process, emphasising collaborative involvement in delivering solutions. The centre communicates progress and outcomes with families, as evidenced by parents reporting significant changes in their children's confidence, calmness and attitudes. Parents are kept informed about their child's goals and progress, with therapists tailoring programs to individual needs and celebrating achievements. The practice recognises families as essential partners in supporting children's development across their roles as students, sons, daughters and friends.

Your first visit

At the first appointment, Hopalong assesses your child's strengths and needs using the latest assessment tools to develop a comprehensive view of where they are. This process ensures that a detailed plan and recommendations are created specifically for your child. The centre offers a complimentary 15-minute meet and greet to get started, which provides an opportunity to discuss your child's situation before the formal assessment begins. The assessment uses modern, research-based tools that give the team the information needed to tailor therapy to your child's individual needs.
