How it works

Our sessions can be tailored to suit you and we like to vary our sessions between clinic, home visits, and school to assist and observe progress across environments. A travel fee will be added for sessions held outside of our clinics.

1. Consult

During this time we hear your concerns and observe you/your child’s communication skills. Together with our clients we then discuss what the best next step will be.

Cost: $50

Workshops

Parents, whanau, educators and other professionals. We often present workshops to groups and we love this part of our job. Being able to share our knowledge and profession with others is so rewarding.

Please get in touch if you are interested in holding a workshop or seminar with us and we can tailor this to meet your needs.
