🎒 Ready for Big School this year? 🎒
(or high school!)
😬 Starting school is a big step — and feeling confident starts with understanding how your child learns, plays, and copes with change.
If your child has had some struggles in the last year with learning, friendships or emotions, now is the time to act, to ensure they’re ready to succeed at school.
If you’d like to give your child the smoothest possible start to school next year, we’d love to help. 💛

Psychology & OT Assessments – Give Your Child the Best Start
Our combined Psychology and Occupational Therapy school readiness assessments can help you understand what support will help them thrive, and how to make sure your new school is ready to help them take their first steps.
We look at things like:
✏️ Fine motor skills – pencil grip, cutting, drawing, pre-writing skills
🪑 Sitting and focusing – attention, following instructions, staying on task
🧠 Thinking and learning – early learning skills, problem-solving, school readiness
💭 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.
If you’d like to give your child the smoothest possible start to school next year, we’d love to help. 💛
