We exist to support children and families with complex disability to access excellent therapy services and to discover that they are more than able to live a purposeful, successful and meaningful life.
You are capable. unique. talented. worthy. more than able.
Our Process
Our therapists deliver dynamic and individualised therapy interventions that assist your child to reach their potential
Step One
Assessment
Where are we starting from?
The first appointment is about getting to know you and your child and finding out what matters to your family. Our therapists assess your child’s current abilities and develop an understanding of their strengths and difficulties.
Step Two
Setting goals
Where are we going?
We are committed to collaborating with our clients, and their parents about what matters to them. Let’s dream up a future where they’re a ballet dancer, an independent adult, or an astronaut. As a team (yes, you’re on the team) we will break that down into small and achievable goals in the here and now that we can work towards in therapy.
Step Three
Therapy
How do we do this?
We know you’ve heard this before, but it’s important to know that therapy is a journey. Each team member has a role to play, and our therapists are in it with your family. Regular therapy sessions include a variety of dynamic and effective therapy approaches tailored to your child’s needs. This includes the creation of home programs and parent coaching.
Step Four
Review
How is it going?
Reflecting on what we are working on is an essential part of the process. We rely on parents collaborating with us, and honestly examining every aspect of the supports that are in place for their child in order for us to make changes as needed. We frequently check in on the progress of our specific and measurable therapy goals, and strive to create an opportunity to celebrate all the little milestones on the journey. We think of this step as the pit-stop, and we aren’t afraid to ask for directions if we’ve gotten a little waylaid.
Basically, we understand that your child is more than the sum of their abilities.
