If a parent requests, we can conduct holistic developmental assessments for children two-to-six years of age; typically re-evaluating every 12-16 weeks based on each child's needs and session frequency. 

These assessments focus on identifying any areas the child may need additional support such as:  fine and gross motor skills, social and emotional development, speech and language, and cognitive abilities, utilising the Ages and Stages 2 & 3 questionnaires as part of our evaluation process. NOTE: These assessments are not diagnostic and do not provide you with a diagnostic criterion for intervention.

The results provide us some insight into your child’s overall development and help set meaningful goals for their therapeutic or developmental plan. 

These assessments are conducted for several key reasons: 

• To determine if a referral to another service or specialist is needed based on parent-reported concerns
• To provide further information for an NDIS application submission
• To track progress and refine goals for therapy; and to tailor early childhood development sessions to the specific behaviours or areas of concern noted by parents.

We may use other assessments within our service depending on the qualifications of allied health professionals. They may recommend various assessment methods tailored to each child's unique needs. By considering specific areas of concern, we can better support your child's growth and well-being.
