Assessment FAQs

First, we'll get to know your child by gathering background information from you and teachers and educators. Then, we'll select the best evaluation tool and conduct a thorough assessment, which may take multiple sessions. Your clinician will review the results and provide you with a report that pinpoints their strengths and areas for support.

After your child’s assessment, if you decide to move forward with therapy, we’ll work together to create a personalised plan that addresses your goals, with regular sessions scheduled either weekly or fortnightly.

Assessments are conducted at our clinic in Baulkham Hills. Some assessments may be completed via Telehealth.

Reports are ready within 4-6 weeks of the initial appointment and are released once full payment is made. If you need it sooner, let us know when you book, and we’ll do our best to accommodate.

Nope! You don't need a referral to book any of our services. Just make sure to secure a spot on our calendar first so we can prepare for your visit. You can also call us at 02 9686 2306.

This depends on the specific assessment, but many can be administered from birth.
