We provide services for children aged 0-8 through Everyday Therapy and Learning.

Our Therapy and Education specialists work with you and your child to achieve your goals. We deliver our services where you need them :

• In your home

• At childcare

• At school

• In the community

We tailor our services based on the goals you and your child are working towards, that means we provide services that can focus on one goal (we call these bursts of therapy) or many goals over a longer period of time.

You receive the information, resources and support you need to help your child learn, develop and reach their goals.

​

Initial Meet and Greet

We start with an initial 60-minute meeting dedicated to getting to know you, talking through our services and ensuring all the necessary paperwork has been completed.

This meeting does not require your child to attend.

To prepare, it is helpful to have a copy of your NDIS plan and goals, and to think about what you want to achieve, and how this fits in with your family routine and availability.

You will then be allocated a Keyworker that will best be able to meet your child's and families needs. We can work in with your child's other therapists with your consent to provide a more warp-around-service.

​

Meet your Key Worker (Main Therapist)

In the first meeting your main therapist will complete a Routines Based Interview.

This is a detailed conversation about your family and child’s day—the areas that are challenging for you, what is going well, and where you would like some help.

At the end of this conversation, we will set the goals for you and your child for the next 6 months.

This process usually takes 2.5 hours. A 2-hour meeting with you plus another 30 minutes of non-contact time writing up the details.

We follow best practice Routines Based Interview to truly understand your child’s needs throughout the different times of the day, environments, family and social interactions.

​

Regular Visits

Each visit, your therapist will:

• Start by checking in on what happened since the last visit and confirm the goal you want to work on for the day—family priorities can change and we want to focus on what is most important to you.

• Provide therapy and support.

• Ask you to practice with your child. Discuss your routine and opportunities you might have to practice with your child throughout your everyday routine.

• Provide you with information and / or referrals.

• Check in at the end of the session for feedback and make sure everyone is clear on the strategies to try between visits.

Our strategies are meant to be part of everyday routine so there are many opportunities for you and your child to practice without it becoming an additional task.

Sometimes it will look like play and may be difficult to understand how it connects to the goal you want to achieve. If this happens, ask the therapist or educator to explain their recommendations and how it links to your goal.

​

Out and About Visits

The goals you have identified might mean spending time with you and your child in your chosen environment eg. food shopping, school, pre-school or day care.

They will work within the child’s natural setting—they don’t withdraw your child from the classroom.

​
