BEHAVIOUR SUPPORT
Our behavioural support services are about understanding why you or a loved one might use inappropriate or challenging behaviour, and what can be done to build capacity in a safe, enjoyable environment. If required a behaviour support plan can be created to help the family and others to implement safe and appropriate strategies. NDIS funding if available can be utilized for this service.
OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY
Our OT is focused on helping individuals of all ages achieve greater independence and quality of life. OT practitioners work with people facing physical, cognitive, emotional, or developmental challenges. Through a personalized and client-centered approach, occupational therapists assist individuals in regaining or developing the skills and abilities necessary for daily living and meaningful activities.
AUTISM ASSESSMENTS
Our comprehensive Autism assessments begin by conducting a clinical interview with parents/carers in order to gain a detailed understanding of your child's needs, developmental history and everyday functioning. Our experienced clinicians will also utilize formal Autism assessments in conjunction with their highly developed professional skills to observe the way your child interacts, communicates and participates during tasks. With this information combined we are able to make an informed diagnosis and recommend interventions to suit.
ADHD, COGNITIVE AND LEARNING ASSESSMENTS
As well as our autism assessments we offer a range of clinical assessments to assess and better understand neurodiverse individuals, intellectual disability, learning difficulties, cognitive functioning and functional capacity. If you'd like more information, contact us today!
SPEECH PATHOLOGY
A speech therapist can help your child improve their speech, and their reading and writing skills. Key areas may include, general speech, language and understanding, literacy, social skills as well as fluency and stuttering. Our speech pathologist is also competent in assessment and diagnosis.
PSYCHOSOCIAL COACHING
Psychosocial Recovery Coaches support social and economic participation of people living with a psychosocial disability or mental health diagnosis. We use one-on-one coaching and tailored recovery plans to build self-efficacy, daily living skills and social skills. Our goal is for clients to be better able to take part in, manage, and navigate their lives. Psychosocial Recovery Coaches also help NDIS clients implement and manage their funded supports, as well as support participants to advocate for themselves to receive fair and quality services, but this service is available to all clients.
