Assessments

We offer comprehensive developmental assessments for children 0-8 years.

An assessment team made up of a Developmental Psychologist, Occupational Therapist and Speech & Language Therapist will identify where your child sits against developmental milestones for:

Sensory processing, fine and gross motor skills

Feeding / eating, social and communication skills

Emotional & behavioural regulation

Thinking, learning and play skills

Autism and ADHD screening

For children over 8, we offer a similar observational assessment, focusing on their individual  neurodevelopmental profile of strengths and needs:

Anxiety & emotional regulation

Autism and ADHD screening

Sensory processing

Social and communication skills

For all ages up to 18 we also offer individualised review and replan sessions for children with previous assessments.

Interventions

For interventions, we work with a wider range of age groups, up to 18 years.

We offer intervention services for children who have been through our assessment process. We also support children or parents without an assessment on a case-by-case basis.

Single or multi-clinician sessions for Occupational Therapy, Speech & Language therapy, Psychology, and Paediatric Physio

School / Preschool observation and teacher coaching visits

Helping infants, children and their families to thrive.

If you're feeling overwhelmed parenting a child who is facing challenges then we are here to help.

With us, you don't just get the perspective of one practitioner, you get the expertise of our whole team, working as one to partner with you, to support your child.

That means psychologists, OT, speech & language therapists, family counsellors and paediatric physio's all gathered round to understand your child from all angles. We also have outreach to medical support when needed.

We don't come in with a fixed idea of what your child needs. We also know no-one knows your child better than you.

So that's where we start.
