about
How We Work with Your Child & Family
We work in partnership with the people that are integral to your child’s care and development. We strive to unite your family’s strengths and knowledge with our expertise in childhood development. This is why your family is central in all decisions about your child’s goals and therapy program – after all, as parents, you are the experts in your child.
In collaboration with the important people in your child’s life, we deliver therapy programs that are embedded into your child’s daily routine and everyday life. We strive to empower your child’s family, carers and educators with the knowledge and strategies to promote his or her development in a meaningful, inclusive and achievable way.
Where We Work
MOBILE THERAPY SERVICES
We know that children learn best when they feel safe and secure. This is why we offer mobile therapy services within your child’s natural environment such as their home, educational or care setting, as this is where they are likely to feel most comfortable.
