Helping your child at kindy and school

 
Partnering with your child’s educational team

 

Our unique “Collaboration for Inclusion” approach means that your child is never withdrawn out of their group or classroom into an empty room.

Instead, we collaborate with your child’s educators to set goals, share strategies, discuss challenges, and reflect on practice.

We evaluate the learning environment as well to suggest modifications that can enhance outcomes for your child.

 

Our “Anywhere” Service

Our In-Home service is also offered online

 

There is emerging research evidence that parent coaching online is equally effective as face-to-face therapy.

This will challenge many parents’ ideas of what makes therapy successful. Evidence shows that many autistic children often prefer online interactions with their therapist as it reduces the stress of human interaction.

Plus, we are using technology, a safe place for many children. We know that autistic children learn best in their natural setting, during everyday activities whilst using materials which occur in their natural environment.

We offer an additional service for families living outside of our mobile service
