Sessions are individual and clinic based. Visits to Kindergartens and schools may be part of the therapy

Behaviour management is designed to explore childrens’ behaviour in the context of the clinic, the family and the environment.. Sessions aim to discover underlying causes of difficult behaviour, develop strategies with children and families to assist with management, reduction of distressing experiences in the home and build upon communication and social thinking for the child and family. Behaviour management seeks to understand the individuality of your childs’ personality and help the child and parent to discover new ways of thinking and processing everyday events.

Behaviour management plans may be developed with the family external practitioners and teachers.

Each session lasts for 50 minutes. Therapy is provided to the child one to one, with the family, in the school or kindergarten and may consist of a single session or weekly for months or years.

This therapy is dyadic in nature which means that the therapist works directly with the child. Some children and parents may need a period of time to adjust to the child being alone with the therapist and time is provided for parent and child to see the therapist together at the beginning. It is common for the therapist to have regular sessions with the parent to provide reflections on the therapy, education and feedback. The frequency of this is dependent on the child and parents needs and will be discussed with the parent throughout the therapy. .
