Our approach
Skill Sense uses a parent-centred, evidence-informed approach grounded in Ayres Sensory Integration and over 20 years of clinical experience. Rather than focusing on labels, the provider looks at what's happening for each child and family, uncovering strengths and identifying underlying reasons for struggles with everyday activities. Sessions are structured and practical, with strategies tailored to your real life and designed to create meaningful progress at home, in the classroom, and beyond. The approach recognises that what looks like misbehaviour or inattention is often a sign your child is struggling to process the world around them. Flexible service delivery includes telehealth consultations, coaching, and online programs to fit your family's needs.
Working with families
Family involvement is central to Skill Sense's approach. The provider works with parents to equip them with knowledge and tools to support their child with confidence, focusing on coaching and parent-led goals rather than traditional therapy sessions alone. Communication is emphasised as clear and structured, with parents receiving practical strategies they can implement at home. The provider also offers online courses and coaching sessions delivered directly to parents, alongside guidance on supporting progress in everyday life. Flexible delivery through telehealth consultations ensures support fits around your family's schedule.
Your first visit
The first appointment begins with an intake session where the provider gathers insights from you as the parent to start building a full picture of your child's strengths and challenges. You'll share your concerns through an initial application form, and the provider will begin formal assessments during this session. This information helps develop a personalised understanding of what's happening for your child. Following the intake, you'll receive a personalised plan with practical strategies tailored to your family's needs, along with guidance on courses and coaching to support progress at home.
