Services
Overview
Following the initial assessment, we will provide you with a clear idea of the services, treatment and time commitment required.
Our services range from clinical psychology (children and teenagers) to behaviour support and speech pathology.
The way our sessions are structured ensures we identify the areas causing the biggest barriers (at home, school, with friends, etc.) so that you see progress which is meaningful.
Location and duration of services
Psychology and Speech Pathology sessions will typically last one hour and take place in our clinic setting.
Behaviour Support programs offer sessions in clinic, at home, at school, and in the community. The length of the sessions are tailored to the individual and range from one to two hours.
Regarding Autism Spectrum Disorder the treatment plan is structured around the core principle of identifying therapy approaches that your child will respond positively to and that lead to skills growth.
