Assessments 

An initial appointment (running for approx. 60-150mins) to determine your child’s strengths and the areas where they would benefit from support. We may also contact other professionals involved in the child’s care (teachers, specialists, allied health professionals) to gather more information.

A detailed assessment report is prepared and recommendations for ongoing supports will be discussed following the completion of the assessment.
