We've been where you are
As a parent of a kid with challenges I know what its like to desperately want to find the right help for your child, but feeling like you are alone and groping in the dark for answers.
I know the impact that challenging kids can have on your family environment too, and on your self confidence as a parent.
I knew that there was a better way because I had seen what my mother Dr Patricia Champion had achieved over 45+ years working with infants and children - developing a collaborative team to look at each child from an integrated perspective and develop a plan that was unique for them.
That's what PerVigeō is here to do.

The PerVigeō model
The developmental model underpinning PerVigeō originated with the work of Dr Patricia Champion (MBE / PhD) in the late 1970's in Christchurch, Aotearoa New Zealand.
Dr Champion and her dedicated team built a brand new approach to supporting children with developmental delays and challenges. 45+ years later the key principles behind her approach remain the same.
That children are born into a community, and in order to properly support a child we need to support their family and extended whānau as well
That development is multifaceted and this most often requires a team approach
That each child has unique potential to be realised irrespective of their developmental challenges
That best outcomes for children occur when the team partners with parents
That the approach needs to continuously improve as research and developmental neuroscience evolves
Although Dr Champion is from a pakeha background, her model is closely aligned with a traditional whānau-based approach to health.
