Helping parents build a strong foundation for their child’s development with customised behaviour strategies.
This service is designed to help you navigate your child’s behaviour with practical, tailored strategies, especially for families facing long waitlists for diagnosis and services. Early intervention is key to supporting your child’s development - the sooner you begin, the more impactful the changes can be.
We start with a parent interview to explore your child’s strengths, interests, and behaviours of concern. From there, I will create a personalised behaviour plan that’s tailored to your child’s unique needs and focuses on practical strategies you can easily integrate into your daily life. This approach ensures that your child receives the support they need right away, even while awaiting a formal diagnosis. By embedding these strategies into your child’s everyday routine, you’ll see the most effective and lasting changes.
Suitable for children aged toddlers to 6 years old.
How it works
-
We begin with a one-on-one conversation to gain a deeper understanding of your child’s unique strengths, challenges, and behavioural patterns. During this interview, I’ll ask questions about your child’s interests, what motivates them, and the specific behaviours you’re concerned about. This is a collaborative process where your insights as a parent are invaluable in shaping the support plan. By understanding the full picture of your child’s needs, we can ensure that the strategies I develop are truly tailored to their individual situation.
-
Based on our conversation, I’ll create a personalised behaviour support plan that includes practical, easy-to-implement strategies you can use at home. The plan will focus on achievable goals and positive behaviour changes that align with your child’s needs and family routines. This approach ensures that the strategies are realistic and sustainable, integrating into your everyday life. Whether it’s enhancing emotional regulation, improving communication, or fostering positive behaviours, the plan will provide clear steps you can follow to support your child’s growth.
-
After you’ve had some time to implement the strategies from the behaviour plan, we’ll have a follow-up session to review your progress. This session allows us to discuss what’s working well and identify any areas where adjustments may be needed. We’ll refine the plan together to ensure it’s as effective as possible for your child’s needs. This feedback ensures that the plan is relevant and responsive to your child’s development, helping you feel confident in the changes you’re making.
-
If you need further assistance, additional follow-up sessions are available to continue supporting your child’s growth and development. Whether you need help troubleshooting challenges or want to adjust the plan as your child’s needs evolve, I’m here to provide ongoing guidance. These sessions offer flexibility, so you can access support whenever it’s needed.

If your child displays challenging behaviours when they are feeling overwhelmed, the plan might include calming techniques, such as deep breathing or using a sensory tool, to help them self-regulate.
If your child has difficulty asking for help, we might introduce alternative behaviours like using a communication card or simple phrases to request assistance.
