Initial Assessment Process & Costs

We offer a comprehensive assessment process which involves getting to know your child and families needs, standardised assessment and developing goals that are meaningful to your child and your family.

  • The process begins with a 50-minute parent consultation via Google Meet. This session allows time to discuss your child’s developmental history, current concerns, priorities, and goals.

    Following the consultation, 30 minutes additional time is allocated for clinical documentation, case notes, scheduling, and preparation for the face-to-face assessment session.

    Cost: $259.95

  • This stage includes a 50-minute assessment session with your child, where the therapist will complete activities and assessments tailored to the areas of need identified during the parent consultation.

    After the session, 30 minutes is allocated for assessment scoring, analysis, and clinical interpretation, along clinical documentation.

    Cost: $259.95 + travel costs

  • Following the assessment, time is dedicated to therapy planning and goal development.

    A written summary outlining recommended therapy goals and focus areas will be prepared and provided to your family to support collaboration and guide future therapy sessions.

    This will be billed alongside your face-to-face initial assessment

    Cost: $97.00
