The team also includes Ritika Bangera as an Administrative/Allied Health Assistant.

  • Your first visit

    The initial consultation begins with observation of your child's behaviour and standardised assessments, alongside discussion of their developmental history with parents. The therapist identifies your child's strengths and challenges during this first session, then works with the family to set meaningful goals and develop a personalised therapy plan tailored to their specific needs. After this initial assessment, follow-up sessions are scheduled to implement the agreed therapy plan, with therapists maintaining clear communication with families throughout. Progress is monitored and adjusted as needed to ensure goals remain relevant and achievable. The entire process is designed to be welcoming and family-centred, with flexible scheduling to fit your family's lifestyle.
