Four Fundamental Values
Integrity
We are Honest
We conduct appropriate assessments that will identify if your child has any challenges.
As a parent, it’s important for you to know that we take the well-being of your child seriously. In order to ensure their growth and development, we conduct assessments that are specifically designed to understand if your child is facing any challenges or difficulties. These assessments are carefully chosen to be suitable for their age and needs. By conducting these assessments, we aim to identify if there are any areas where your child might need extra support or assistance. Our goal is to provide you with a comprehensive understanding of your child’s strengths and areas that may require attention, so that together we can create the best plan for their overall growth and success.
We report frankly and honestly on that assessment.
As a parent, it’s essential for you to trust that we value transparency and honesty when it comes to reporting on your child’s assessment. We believe in providing you with a clear and accurate understanding of the results. Our reports are prepared with utmost care, ensuring that they are frank and honest in their assessment of your child’s strengths, areas of concern, and any potential problems that have been identified. We strive to present the information in a straightforward and accessible manner, enabling you to fully comprehend the findings and make informed decisions. We want you to feel confident in our assessment process and trust that our reports will be a valuable resource for you to advocate for your child’s needs and support their growth and development effectively.
We recommend therapy only if there is a need.
As professionals, we carefully evaluate the assessment results and consider various factors before making any recommendations. If we determine that your child would benefit from therapy to address specific concerns or challenges identified during the assessment, we will suggest it as a supportive option. Our intention is to provide appropriate interventions and resources to help your child thrive and overcome any difficulties they may be facing. We prioritize the well-being and development of your child, ensuring that therapy is recommended only when it is deemed necessary and beneficial for their overall growth and success.
We consult with other colleagues and professionals when appropriate to best meet the needs of your child (confidentially of course!).
As part of our commitment to providing the best possible care for your child, we believe in collaboration and seeking input from other experts when necessary. We understand that every child is unique, and their needs may require a multidisciplinary approach. Therefore, we may consult with other colleagues and professionals who have specialised knowledge or experience relevant to your child’s situation. These consultations are conducted confidentially to ensure your child’s privacy and protect sensitive information. By collaborating with other experts, we aim to gather diverse perspectives and tap into a wider range of expertise, enabling us to develop a comprehensive and tailored plan that best meets the specific needs of your child. Our priority is to ensure your child receives the most effective and appropriate support possible, and consulting with trusted professionals is one way we strive to achieve that goal.
