Our mission is to provide high quality, fun and effective therapy for families
We offer evidence-based, individualised therapy for children aged 2-12 and their families, at home, school or daycare.
Families come first
Our promise to our clients
At Steps Together Children’s Therapy, we promise to see your child for who they are! Every child is treated as an individual and every family's unique needs and values are considered. We understand that one size does not fit all, and want to work with your family to find the best ways that we can support you. We pride ourselves on getting to know our clients' preferences, values, needs, and interests well, and using this knowledge to tailor therapy to each family.
How do we ensure the highest quality of care?
Patient-centred
Our therapists will tailor their activities, environment, and approach, to meet your child's needs, interests and play preferences.
Flexible
Our services can be provided at home, school or daycare, at a frequency that works for your family.
Evidence-based
We ensure that the therapy we deliver is backed by evidence. We do this through access to research, attendance of regular professional development, and frequent clinical mentoring.
Fun!
We acknowledge that children learn best through play. We work to ensure every child's preferences are considered so that they have fun during their sessions and look forward to coming back.
