Our Assessment Process
The journey often begins with a comprehensive assessment. We conduct thorough evaluations to understand the child's specific challenges.

Our assessments are designed to be child-friendly and informative, providing a clear picture of the child's strengths and areas for development. We believe that a detailed understanding is the first step towards effective intervention.

These plans are collaborative, involving parents, caregivers, and sometimes teachers, to ensure consistency and progress across different environments. Our therapy sessions are engaging and fun, using play-based activities and evidence-based techniques to target specific goals.
