In-Education Service

As an educator, do you need support in your educational environment?

Kid Sense In-Education service brings an in-house Allied Health service to you on the days you want, for the period you want, as often as you want. It offers all the benefits of Allied Health staff without the HR headaches of employing them.

Kid Sense has been working with children for decades and recognises that while the children are the focus point, the only way to support children is to set up the carers around the child for success. With this view in mind, Kid Sense offers the In-Education service where educational settings want to engage with Allied Health on a budget that works for them and that helps them directly, rather than it simply being individually child-focused.

Do you need more knowledge about how to help your students in general?

Educators: we bring you the support that you want, in the way that you want it and when you want it.

Administrators: we bring you an in-house Allied Health team in the amount that you want, with none of the employment hassles. Service engagement can be negotiated each term.

Do you wish you had a health therapist on your team but can’t afford them?
