FAQ
Questions about who helps your child
Still not sure who your child needs? That’s completely normal — and it’s our job to help you work it out.
Which specialist does my child need?
Often it becomes clear after a first assessment — and many children benefit from more than one specialist working together. You don’t need to work it out yourself: tell us what you’re seeing and we’ll point you to the right person. Our quick “which therapy?” guide can also help you start.
Do these specialists work together?
Yes. We’re a multidisciplinary team, which means your child’s speech therapist, occupational therapist, behaviour therapist, psychologist and special educator share notes and pull in the same direction — around one shared plan for your child.
