How It Works

1

Intro Call

We start with a conversation with the parent or carer to understand your child's needs, goals, and what support would be most helpful.

2

Goal Setting & Plan

Together, we create a tailored plan that focuses on your child's specific goals, whether it's building confidence, improving routines, or developing new skills.

3

Regular Sessions with Feedback

Sessions are delivered consistently with ongoing communication, progress updates, and adjustments as needed to ensure the best outcomes.
