Assessment
Your child’s journey with Kid Sense starts with an assessment. Depending on the nature of difficulties, we offer a Short Assessment or a Full Assessment. This ensures we meet your child’s needs without charging unnecessarily. If you are not sure what type of assessment your child needs please see the table below or call us on 1800 KIDSENSE (1800 543 736) and we’ll guide you through the process. In many cases it is best to attend a short assessment and then discuss the need for further assessment with the assessing therapist.
Once your child has had an assessment, we begin treatment. If your child has had an assessment elsewhere in the discipline of need, we will need a copy of the assessment report before providing any therapy.
