Counselling

 

We provide both phone and face to face counselling for parents of gifted children to assist them in understanding and supporting their children.


Comprehensive Developmental Assessment

 

The assessments have been designed to identify any possible learning differences, or issues, and to highlight strengths in your child. Your child's situation will then be analysed and a formal written report will be completed.
This process will enable us to provide a comprehensive program that meets the specific needs of your child. This process will take place from a multi-disciplinary perspective a detailed report will be provided and if your child has specific needs then referrals will be made to relevant services
