Autism &
Neurodivergent
Therapy Support
Services
We provide a neurodiversity-affirmative service for autistic people and ADHDers from a range of age groups, from preschool and kindergarten through to secondary school, and adulthood.
We see kids and families via private funds, as well as NDIS plan managed and self managed. We are no longer NDIA registered.
We work in a partnership with our neurodivergent clients, their families, as well as other supporting clinicians, and educational settings. Our aim is to support the development of collaborative approaches that meet the autistic person’s NDIS goals.
We tailor our approach to a range of factors including, our client's age, funding pathway, as well as family needs and preferences.

Children's Therapy
When working with children we seek to share our curiosity and understanding of autism with the key people in the child’s world to support them in meeting the child’s needs for growth and development.
In line with contemporary child psychology theories and research we know behaviour is a form of communication. Challenging behaviour is often an indicator that children are overwhelmed and not coping with the expectations of their environments. Difficult behaviour is often due to stress, not misbehaviour. Because of this, our approach is not centered on behaviour management plans and sticker charts which assume the child.is choosing to misbehave.
Rather, we focus more on supporting children’s growth through building a thoughtful and attuned understanding of the child’s needs, and assisting environments to better match expectations to children’s development and abilities.
We also support children and their families to develop skills in understanding kids’ emotions and their ‘internal worlds’, to learn skills in recognising and responding effectively to the unique way their brains and bodies work.
