ASSESSMENT
At Bright Spots Therapy, we understand that every child is unique. Our assessment process is thoughtfully tailored to each individual, making it engaging and informative. We employ a range of comprehensive and informal assessments to evaluate various developmental skills. These assessments serve the dual purpose of establishing a baseline and providing ongoing updates on your child's progress. Once the assessment is completed, a detailed written report is completed along with feedback discussion and goal setting with you. This transparent and collaborative approach allows us to ensure that you have a complete understanding of your child's developmental journey. Your child's progress and well-being are at the forefront of our practice, and our assessments are an integral part of that commitment.
THERAPY
Our dedication lies in supporting the educational journey of primary and secondary school children, helping them realize their full potential. We implement evidence-based practices to assist children facing challenges in language, literacy, and social communication. We utilise ongoing reflection and review of goals. Our approach is highly individualized, ensuring that each child's unique needs are met. Additionally, our services can be accessed through NDIS funding or school (government) funding, making them widely accessible. We recognize the importance of social communication, emotional development and the impact on quality of life. Our services extend to teaching social skills, helping children build meaningful connections, foster empathy, and navigate the complexities of social interactions. We believe that a well-rounded education includes the ability to thrive in a social environment and access opportunities. In addition to direct therapy services, we offer comprehensive training to educators and carers on essential topics such as language, literacy, and social communication. This empowers teachers and carers with the knowledge and tools they need to further support children.
