This program is designed for families with young children and focuses on supporting early childhood development through parent-child interactions, offering tools and strategies to enhance bonding and communication.

Therapy

Child therapy often involves techniques like play therapy and art-based interventions, tailored to help children express emotions in ways they understand. Adult therapy, by contrast, may focus more on talk therapy to explore emotions and coping mechanisms.

Play therapy is a therapeutic approach that helps children express themselves, process emotions, and address psychological challenges through play, which is their natural form of communication.

Consistent support and communication at home are key. Our therapists provide parents with guidance on how to continue supporting their child’s emotional and mental growth between sessions.

Parents play a critical role in their child’s therapy. We collaborate with parents, offering regular feedback and strategies to help reinforce the child’s progress at home.

Autism

We offer comprehensive support for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), including assessments, early intervention programs, and tailored therapy to address individual developmental needs. We also provide behaviour intervention services, speech and language pathology services, and occupational therapy services.

The autism assessments are conducted by our child psychologist and a team of experienced clinicians who use standardized tools to evaluate developmental, behavioural, and social functioning to provide a clear diagnosis.

Our early intervention programs focus on skill development, communication strategies, and behavioural support to help children with autism navigate daily life more effectively.

Family & Me Early Years Program

This program is designed for families with children aged 0-36 months, focusing on early childhood development and parent-child interaction.

You can expect a structured program that provides parents with tools and techniques to foster healthy development in their young children through engaging activities and expert support.

Parents receive guidance and strategies to strengthen their bond with their children, enhance communication, and better understand their child’s developmental needs.
