Service Delivery

All Workshops, Presentations, Reflective Practice Facilitation, Mental Health Consultation and Training can be offered virtually or in person (depending on location)

We also offer most of our clinical services to whānau via video link if outside our area. We have worked with families in remote areas of New Zealand, and overseas (Japan, USA) via video link - so location is not a problem.

Individualised funding (IF) - through Needs Assessment and Service Coordination (NASC) if your child has a physical, intellectual and/or sensory impairment or disability for a minimum of 6 months and reduces their ability to function independently, to the extent that ongoing support is required. In addition, a person with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) may also be eligible for a need’s assessment. 

The Needs Assessment identifies your child’s needs and how much support would be required to meet the disability related goals. You can choose to allocate some of your budget towards therapy, so long as it is meeting your disability related needs and goals.

Employment Support Fund

Small Business owners may be eligible for services through https://firststeps.clearhead.org.nz/

Health Insurance may cover costs.

Your GP and other health and support agencies may be aware of other funding sources to help with costs.
