Getting Ready
Existing paediatrician letters, diagnostic reports, school assessments, and your child's NDIS plan if you have one.
Jot down moments that are smooth and routines that feel challenging — mornings, mealtimes, transitions, bedtime, or play.
A favourite toy, sensory item, or snack helps your child feel secure and gives us an instant bridge for joyful play.
Choose comfortable clothing that allows your child to sit on the mat, climb, jump, and play freely without restriction.
Tell us a little about your child and our senior clinical team will connect with you to talk through the best supportive pathway for your family.
