Early Intervention Assessments

Assessments are a critical component of early intervention, providing a comprehensive understanding of a child’s developmental strengths and areas in which they might require further support.

Using a range of tools and observations, our assessments help identify potential delays or challenges early on, enabling timely support tailored to each child’s unique needs.

These assessments can be facilitated in the childcare/school or home environment.

Occupational Therapy

Sensory Processing Assessment ($485)

Includes Sensory Processing Measure (SPM), consultation with Occupational Therapist, written summary and recommendations.

Duration: 1.5 hours face to face + 1 hour report development

Comprehensive Developmental & Sensory Assessment ($776)

Includes standardised developmental assessment, Sensory Processing Measure (SPM), consultation with Occupational Therapist including a routines-based interview, written comprehensive summary, and recommendations.

Duration: up to 2.5 hours face to face + up to 2 hour report development (4 hours total)

Functional Capacity Assessment (FCA)

A Functional Capacity Assessment looks at how your child manages everyday tasks across different areas of life.

You might want to consider this type of assessment if:

  • You’re applying for, or reviewing, NDIS funding and need a detailed report about your child’s daily support needs

  • Your child needs help with things like dressing, toileting, or eating

  • They struggle with changes in routine, following instructions, or staying regulated throughout the day

  • Your child has difficulty playing with others, making friends, or managing emotions

  • They need extra support to learn new skills, both at home and in early learning or school environments

  • You want a clearer picture of your child’s strengths, challenges, and goals

Think: It’s a big-picture look at how your child functions day-to-day, and what support they need to live, learn and participate.

Speech Therapy

Speech Assessment ($776)

A speech assessment looks at how clearly a child can say words and sounds. You might want to look into this if:

  • People find it hard to understand your child, especially if they are over 3 years old

  • Your child leaves out sounds (e.g., says “ca” for “cat”) or replaces them with other sounds (e.g., “tat” for “cat”)

  • They speak very quietly, mumble, or speak very fast

  • Their voice sounds unusual (e.g., very raspy or nasal)

  • They have trouble with saying longer words or stutter when they talk

Think: They know what they want to say, but it’s hard to understand how they say it.

Includes Diagnostic Evaluation of Articulation and Phonology (DEAP), consultation with Speech Pathologist, and detailed assessment report including recommendations.

Duration: 2 hours face to face + 2 hour report development = 4 hours

Language Assessment ($776)

A language assessment looks at how your child understands and uses words and sentences. You might want to consider this if:

  • Your child finds it hard to follow instructions (especially if they're age-appropriate)

  • They use fewer words or shorter sentences than other children their age

  • They have trouble answering questions or telling a story

  • They often seem confused or unsure how to say what they want

  • They mix up word order or leave out important words

  • They find it hard to have conversations with others

Think: It’s not about how clearly they speak, but about understanding and using language.

Includes standardised Language assessment, consultation with Speech Pathologist, and detailed assessment report including recommendations.

Duration: 2 hours face to face + 2 hour report development = 4 hours

Comprehensive Speech and Language Assessment ($875)

Includes standardised Speech and Language assessments, consultation with Speech Pathologist, and detailed assessment report including recommendations.
