Yes you can use your Baby Bonus for therapy. We need a report from your doctor.

The first session is free and for us to answer all your questions. If you would like to take the next step, we will spend about eight hours with your child. Of course, this is broken up into a few sessions. Next, we discuss the results with your family and share our thoughts in terms of goals and hours. We gather your feedback. Finally, a plan is produced for the next six months. We start the actual therapy with a few hours before increasing it to the actual plan. Do read more on this.

We are unable to allow parents to sit with the child during the sessions. However, we can take pictures or videos upon request.

We  talk to you after every session. This is a good time to share any concerns you may have at home. We are also a phone call away. We will also set up a chat group for your child.
