Allied Health Assistance Services
We know it can be hard to fit therapy into everyday life.
That’s why we offer Therapy Assistance through our Allied Health Assistant (AHA) team, giving your child more opportunities to practise, learn, and progress in their natural environments.
Our Allied Health Assistants are not limited to providing just Allied Health support. They can also collaborate with your child’s broader therapy team, including their Occupational Therapist, Psychologist and Speech Pathologist. This may involve attending a joint session, collaborating via a telehealth meeting or implementing a plan developed by the allied health therapist.
