What We Do
Our Psychologists, Speech and Language Therapists and Occupational Therapists specialise in assessing and supporting a broad range of developmental differences such as Autism, DCD/Dyspraxia, Speech Delay and Dyslexia in a respectful, neurodiversity affirmative manner.
PLEASE NOTE THAT DUE TO HIGH DEMAND WE HAVE HAD MAKE THE VERY DIFFICULT DECISION TO TEMOPRARILY CLOSE ALL THERAPY WAITLISTS (including Psychology, Occupational Therapy and Speech & Language Therapy).
WE HAVE ALSO TEMPORARILY HAD TO CLOSE ALL NEW REFERRALS FOR OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY (assessments, consults and therapy). WE ARE WORKING HARD AT BRINGING THESE BACK AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
We are still accepting referrals for ASSESSMENTS and PARENT CONSULTS across Psychology and Speech & Language.
• Parent Consultations with a Psychologist
To discuss and investigate any concerns you may have about your child (without your child present) and provide recommendations.
• Parent and Child Consultations with a Psychologist
During which we meet you and your child, provide an informal assessment (either play based for younger children or a child interview for older) and subsequently discuss concerns and provide recommendations.
