Feelings Are a Part of Growing Up

We all experience a wide range of emotions, from happiness, sadness, frustration, excitement and that’s completely natural. For children, learning to recognise, understand and express those emotions takes time. Sometimes, though, there may be reasons why a child finds it harder to manage or communicate how they feel.

This might include:
* Language or communication challenges
* Sensory sensitivities or sensory overload
* Difficulties with attention or impulse control
* Social or developmental differences
* Anxiety, stress, or changes in routine

Every child’s emotional world is unique and sometimes they just need a little extra support to find their way. If you’ve noticed your child becoming easily frustrated, withdrawn, or struggling to express their feelings, our team can help.

Give us a call! Ph: 03 9578 7560 (Cheltenham) or 03 8560 4050 (Kensington)

URGENT: WE HAVE 48 HOURS

More transparency is needed to the who and how for the Support Needs Assessments which are expected to begin mid year 2026.

The same Agency who completes the assessment will be determining the Plan Budget. Assessors are not required to have ANY qualification - just having undergone 'training'.
