Beyond one-to-one sessions
Support beyond individual therapy
Children develop within families, classrooms and communities. We offer practical ways to build skills and confidence between appointments and during everyday routines.
Parent & caregiver coaching
Work one-to-one with a paediatric therapist on play, communication, regulation and routines. Parent-only, child-inclusive and telehealth formats may be available.
Groups & programs
Small, carefully matched groups give children opportunities to practise communication, emotional regulation, play and participation with peers.
Early support
When you are unsure where to begin, start with a parent consultation or screening. We can discuss whether coaching, assessment, a group or individual therapy is the most useful next step.
