What is the Process for Therapy?
What happens first?
Comprehensive Assessment
We need to gather the appropriate information to gain a good understanding of your child's progress and needs. This involves discussion and questionnaires from significant people involved in the care of the child, as well as providing a thorough initial assessment for each child.
The assessments used can include both standardised and observational tools. We can also use recent assessment information from other service providers as a starting point to guide therapy.
So the first step is to call us to discuss your goals for your child and we can arrange an assessment from there.
