What happens when you contact us?
Initial contact: You can contact us via the contact page on this website or by phoning our administration team weekdays 9am - 3pm. They will listen to your concerns, let you know how we can help & identify the best team member to work with your child.
Assessment: You will meet with our therapist who will assess your child using both informal and standardized assessments to understand the underlying reasons for their difficulties. If therapy or rehabilitation is needed, you will work together to develop a plan about what this includes.
Intervention: You & your child will work with the therapist to develop an individualized intervention plan. Your child's plan may include strategies for home, school, & the community that you can implement independently or they may benefit from regular therapy sessions. We can come to you at a place your child feels most comfortable or Dunedin families can be seen in our clinic.
