We are located in Blacktown NSW and happily service our local community or broader community via telehealth.
We provide one off observational assessment such as for schools or families to identify areas of challenges and supports needed for the particular environment.
Ongoing community visits require:
Parents to be present
Set community goals were we are engaging in daily structures and routines to model strategies across daily routines.
Teachers or educators be present to be trained in set strategies of support and skill building across the school routine or daily structure.
We do not do school visits where the child is removed from their environment and no parent, teacher or family follow up or modelling is available, as this does not allow for individualised and integrated strategies to be modelled in order to support the repetition needed to skill build.
What do clinic sessions look like?
Our clinician’s create customised and individualised sessions where the person is actively engaging in purposeful activities (things they enjoy and are interested in).
Sessions are playful but structured.
Play does not need to be directed and our sessions are not compliance focused.
Our clinicians will use their skill developed through training in play based models and cognition to stimulate and guide the session.
This may mean we join the person in their play or we create a playful storyline or experience.
It could mean we are training or playing basketball, cooking, debating the GOAT of the NBA, building Super smash brother’s locations or making potions.
Skills are developed through stages and direct instruction does not develop functional skills where a person is able to screen their environment, think about the situation and create a plan to meet underlying situational needs and reason. So instead our clinician’s will customise services to the developmental and functional skills in which are being targeted whilst always thinking about ensuring executive and independent functions are being built.
