Hello friends and families!

In this edition we're showcasing how our therapists work together with each other, with you, and with your child's community to ensure your child has the very best possible support from the most important people in their lives. Be sure to check out our video on the next page to find out more.

We have a great range of group therapy programs on offer across all of our Brisbane clinics. These are running over the school term starting in the next few weeks and also during the upcoming Easter holidays.

We would like to take this opportunity to wish all the kids going back to school next week all the very best. We hope the return to school is an exciting and positive time for you and your little ones.

Our commitment to keeping you safe

We continue to be commited to keeping our clients, their families and our team members safe while we navigate the current challenges we are all facing with COVID-19.
