Choosing a therapist for your child (or yourself!) can feel overwhelming, but it’s an important step toward growth and change!
Here’s how we at Tailored Developmental Therapies (TDT) align with these five crucial questions:
What extra qualifications do they have?
At TDT, our team is trained in neuroplasticity-based therapies and play-based interventions, which focus on strengthening the brain’s neural pathways. Our founder, Emily Healy, holds a Master’s in Special Education and was featured in Defence Family Matters for her dedication to creating transformative programs for families.
What intensity and frequency of service is best?
We offer tailored programs for each client. Whether your child thrives on short, intensive therapy bursts or benefits from steady, long-term support , we’ll develop a plan that suits their unique needs.
What is your therapist’s ‘exit strategy’?
We aim to build skills that empower clients to thrive independently. Our programs consistently measure progress and focus on long-term, sustainable changes in behaviour, learning, and well-being. We are happy to do handovers if required.
What is their approach to treatment and teamwork?
Collaboration is key. Our therapists work closely with the client’s caregivers, who are included in our sessions, as well as with speech therapists, OTs, support coordinators, and support workers, to create cohesive and effective treatment plans. We often collaborate in team meetings for clients, even for school or workplaces.
Will the therapist help train your support workers?
Yes! We provide training and mentorship to parents and support workers so therapy continues at home, ensuring lasting progress in everyday life. We need short sessions/minutes each day to create long-lasting change for any neuroplasticity change.
At TDT, we’re here to help individuals of all ages—from toddlers to adults—unlock their potential and create meaningful, lasting change.
We offer complimentary initial phone consultations to ensure we can offer you the services you need that are aligned with your values and goals. They also match ours in terms of growth, fun, self-respect, service, success, compassion, authenticity, community, knowledge, kindness, safety, and trustworthiness.
