A LITTLE CLARITY FOR PARENTS

Questions are
a good place to start.

Every family has questions. Here are a few to help you prepare for a conversation with the centre.

Concerned about your child's development? Speak with a qualified professional. You don't need to wait until you have all the answers.

Do I need to know which therapy my child needs?

No. You can describe your concern when you contact the centre and ask which consultation or assessment may be appropriate.

What should I bring for a first visit?

Ask the centre whether you should bring previous reports, prescriptions or school observations. Before travelling, confirm your appointment, fees and any referral requirements.

How long will my child need support?

This depends on individual needs and assessment. Ask the professional about goals, recommended frequency and progress reviews. There is no single timeline for every child.

Can I ask about services for adults?

The brochure lists some adult speech-language and clinical psychology services. Contact the centre to confirm current availability and the appropriate professional.
