The first step is a free screening questionnaire which gathers information about the developmental history of the child.
Next, is a history consult. This appointment is a sit-down discussion with the parents/carers of a child. No children attend this consult. The purpose of this meeting is to unpack the developmental history in depth. This consult can be in-person or on zoom.
Once we have a deep understanding of the child's history, we complete an initial assessment. In this appointment we assess for retained primitive reflexes and sensory functioning. We also check balance, coordination, motor patterns, laterality, oculomotor skills and auditory processing.
After the initial assessment, the child attends fortnightly sessions* which include primitive reflex integration work and sensory stimulation. Sessions are simple, fun and full of movement! Take-home exercises are given to help consolidate reflex integration. These daily home exercises are also simple and don't take more than 5-10 minutes to do.
Most children need 6 to 12 months of neurodevelopmental therapy but some individuals need a little longer, up to 18 months. It's important to note that this therapy is not a 'quick fix' because we are working with the brain and must give it sufficient time to reorganise and develop.
*We offer face-to-face Neurodevelopmental Therapy in Sydney (Tallawong) and Canberra (Lyneham). Sessions in Canberra are monthly, not fortnightly.
