Our Mission
Our mission is to help children grow through responsive, personalised, and collaborative therapy. We believe children learn best when their individual strengths and needs are understood, which is why we combine an evidence-based approach with our tailored four-step process to support meaningful, lasting progress.
HOW IT WORKS
We use a clear four-step process that helps us understand your child and work closely with your family. It’s easy, supportive, and tailored to your child’s needs.
STAGE ONE
Reach Out
Get in touch via phone, email, or online form.
Once we have confirmed your initial consultation, questionnaires will be emailed to gather case history information.
STAGE TWO
Initial Consult
You will have an initial phone call or meeting with your speech pathologist to share your child’s story, discuss your family’s goals, and plan next steps.
STAGE THREE
Assessment
The initial assessment process involves your child taking part in carefully selected play-based activities and standardised tools to explore their strengths and challenges.
STAGE FOUR
Therapy
An individualised plan is developed with weekly or fortnightly therapy sessions with ongoing strategies and suggestions to support both your child and family to reach their goals.
