** Get in Quick - limited OT and Psych assessment spots this school holidays!**

Success at school can be a challenge - and feeling supported starts with understanding how your child learns, plays, and copes with change.

Our Psychology and Occupational Therapy assessments can help you understand what support will help them thrive.

We look at things for kids big or small like:
✏️ Fine motor skills – pencil grip, cutting, drawing, pre-writing skills
🪑 Sitting and focusing – attention, following instructions, staying on task
🧠 Thinking and learning – communication, learning skills, dyslexia, problem-solving,
💭 Behaviour & emotions – big feelings, worries, meltdowns, emotional regulation
🎧 Sensory needs – noise, crowds, clothing tags, busy environments
📊 Functional Capacity & NDIS reports – where needed, to support funding and planning

💡 With clear, written recommendations, we give you and your school a practical roadmap — including strategies, and information you can share with the school, and support for you and your child moving forward.

If you’d like to give your child the best chance of success at school, we’d love to help. 💛
