• Working with families

  The clinic believes in partnership, making family collaboration central to therapy.

Home practice is encouraged with activities tailored specifically to your family's routines to support faster progress. The team communicates regularly through three-monthly goal reviews where you celebrate achievements together and adjust priorities. Therapy may involve collaboration with teachers and health professionals, keeping you informed and connected throughout your child's care.

• Your first visit

  The journey begins with a short questionnaire and assessment to understand your child's individual needs. From the very first visit, the therapist listens carefully to understand your child's challenges and aspirations. Together with you, your therapist sets meaningful goals and creates a practical plan to achieve them. Every three months, the team reviews progress, celebrates achievements, and adjusts priorities as needed. When therapy is no longer required, you'll receive a clear discharge summary and guidance for the next stage of care.
