Not sure which support is the right fit for your child?

Choosing the right support can feel overwhelming — especially when your child’s needs don’t fit neatly into one box. We’re here to help you understand the differences and work out what will be most helpful right now.

Developmental Therapy

Best suited when your child needs support with:

  • Emotional regulation

  • Social skills and friendships

  • Independence and daily routines

  • School participation and transitions

How it works:
Developmental Educators focus on building skills over time, supporting children at school, at home, and in the community — always in a child-led, neuro-affirming way.

Good fit if you’re thinking:

“My child struggles with emotions or social situations, especially at school.”

Support Work

Best suited when your child needs support with:

  • Practical, hands-on support

  • Help practising everyday skills

  • Support at home or in the community

How it works:
Support Workers provide ongoing, goal-aligned support, working alongside families and therapy teams to help children practise skills in real-world settings.

Good fit if you’re thinking:

“My child understands what to do but needs help doing it consistently.”

OT & Speech Therapy (Coming Soon)

Best suited when your child needs support with:

  • Motor Skills

  • Communication

  • Sensory processing or speech

How it works:
Our Occupational Therapy and Speech Therapy services are coming soon. In the meantime, our team can help guide next steps and connect you with appropriate supports.

It’s okay if more than one option feels right

Many children benefit from a combination of supports, or from different supports at different stages.
