We provide both functional developmental screeners and ongoing therapeutic support — depending on your child's needs.
Our Brisbane-based service works closely with families, schools, and allied health teams across Queensland.
Baseline screeners across sensory processing, literacy and learning, social-emotional development and adaptive functioning.
Designed to provide practical insight that informs intervention planning across school, NDIS and health settings — without focusing solely on diagnosis.
Gentle, evidence-informed counselling for children and young people needing support with anxiety, emotional regulation, behavioural challenges or adjustment.
We work collaboratively with families and schools to build strategies that are sustainable and strengths-based.
Not sure which service is right for your child?
Talk With Us FirstChildren in foster and kinship care may have experienced early adversity, placement changes, or interrupted development. As a result, some children miss important developmental stages or present with learning, sensory, emotional, or behavioural differences that are not fully understood.
Our trauma-informed functional developmental screeners provide practical insight into how a child is functioning right now — not for diagnosis, but to guide intervention across school, health, and home settings.
We understand the Queensland child safety and education systems and provide screener reports that support collaboration with local schools, case managers, and NDIS providers.
