We are a client-centred practice and believe that working collaboratively with the child, their family, teachers and other health professionals is the key to successful outcomes. We provide a holistic service to assist children and adolescents to overcome developmental and learning concerns to achieve their goals and overall achieve optimal quality of life.

Services are offered to children with or without a diagnosis. We assist with delayed skills in the areas outlined above. We also provide services for children with a variety of additional needs including learning difficulties, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), ADD/ADHD, Cerebral Palsy, Down Syndrome, Chromosomal disorders and Developmental Delay.

Our service is currently mobile allowing children to be seen in their school, day care or home environments. However clinic space is available if required.
