Services

The assessment process is often the first place we meet and often originates from you, a referral from your child’s paediatrician or some other important person like preschool or another therapist. This process can take a while, but it is important we all take the time to make sure the results are accurate, because that matters. For a more detailed explanation of the assessment process and what it involves, click here.

The cost of the assessment varies depending on the type of assessment and what is involved. More details of the cost of the assessment and possible funding supports can be found here

The types of things I can assess for can include:

• Autism
• ADHD
• Specific Learning Disorders (Dyslexia, Dysgraphia etc)
• Giftedness
• Intellectual Disability
• Developmental and Behavioural issues

to name but a few. If you have specific assessment ideas, please contact me for a chat.

Collaboration is the service I provide that brings everything together. I have extensive knowledge regarding NSW Department of Education support services and have experience guiding, supporting, empowering and advocating for children and families to ensure they are able to access the most appropriate support for their educational needs. I also have extensive experience collaborating with other government (NDIS, Health, Communities and Justice) and non-government agencies (NDIS providers, therapy teams, medical consultants, early childhood centres) to enhance the services your little one accesses by creating and contributing to a gold-standard holistic approach to support.

Let’s chat if you need support with:

• working out what options your child has for early-intervention or support class settings for school;
• creating or joining a therapy team with your child’s other services;
• developing and enhancing communication pathways between you and those involved with your child’s care;
• advocating with you and/or n behalf of your child to access relevant services;
• directly communicating with teachers and schools to develop in-class strategies for your child

You do not need a referral to access Collaboration, nor does your child have to be an existing client in the clinic. You can access this as a standalone service, or as part of the work we are doing as part of the Assessment or Support service.
