Development Programs

Supporting your child’s on-going development

The following programs are designed to support the ongoing developmental needs of your child.

To ensure your child’s suitability and deliver the best possible outcomes, your child’s skills will need to be assessed in order to join one of the following groups.

"It Takes Two to Talk" and "Target Word" (Hanen programs)
These programs are specifically for parents whose concern is that their child is not using very many words or word combinations. Parents learn to create launguage learning opportunities for their child and are given time to practice these strategies at home with their child.

Sound Development
The program helps your child to understand how sounds are made and learn how to use speech sounds, increasing their ability to use clear speech. The group allows them to practice their speech sounds with peers in a supportive environment. 

Social Skills
The program helps to develop your child's social skills in a fun and interactive way, including greeting, taking turns, asking for help, overcoming fear and anxiety, calming down and speaking up.

Groups are offered by age, area of focus and are for preschoolers and lower-primary and upper-primary school aged children.

Handwriting
The program encourages fine and gross motor skill development. This includes finger placement and body awareness for children learning to put pen to paper.

Feeding Clinic
Available to infants from 6 months transitioning to solids 8 years. Children who have a limited food range, food fussiness, food refusal, anxiety and behavioral concerns around food. Children with nutrition concerns, low growth, weight loss or gut issues should be referred to Dietetics. Children with specialised medical or disability needs should be referred to a specialised service.
