You don't need a diagnosis to start understanding your child.

Developmental screening is simply a way of taking a closer look at how your child is developing — their communication, learning, feelings, relationships and everyday skills.

It's not a test of your child's worth. It's not a label. It's a structured, evidence-informed way of seeing the whole picture, so you can understand where your child is thriving and where they might need a little more support.

Think of it as a map, not a verdict. It shows you what's going on — and where to go from here.

What we look at

Screening considers the areas that shape how your child learns, connects and copes day to day.

Communication

Expressing needs and ideas, and understanding others.

Learning and thinking

How your child takes in, remembers and works with information.

Social and emotional

Managing feelings, forming friendships and feeling secure.

Functional skills

Everyday independence — self-care, organisation and routines.

School readiness

The skills that help a child settle and participate at school.

Strengths & support needs

What your child does well — and where support would make the most difference.

Our approach

Insights without labels.

Our screening is non-diagnostic. It doesn't put a name on your child or sort them into a box.

Instead, it gives you insight — a clear understanding of how your child's development is tracking, what's supporting them, and what might help next.

If a formal diagnosis is ever needed, we'll guide you to the right professionals. But understanding comes first.
