Family Centred
At Peter Habit Therapy Co. we understand that to achieve the best outcomes means working with your family as a whole and prioritising what is most important for your family.
Strength Based & Child First
We will utilise your child’s strengths and interests to enhance their learning and increase their participation in therapy sessions. We provide individualised targeted therapy that works towards your child’s goals. We will strongly advocate for your child and your child’s needs to ensure your child has the best possible outcomes.
Evidence Based
We believe in providing your child with
assessment and therapy that is in line with what is considered to be best practice.
We have an ongoing commitment to the
Speech Pathology profession as Speech Pathology Australia members. We attend regular professional development training to ensure we remain up to date on what is the most recent evidence to promote your child’s development.
Collaborative
We will work in a collaborative way as agreed
with you. We will provide home visits, school, kindy visits, attend joint visits, transition meetings, other health professional sessions and liaise with your child’s extended team as needed, to ensure a collaborative working environment is achieved for your child.
Inclusive
We are a neurodiversity affirming, gender inclusive and trauma informed service.
We will take time to listen to you and your child/young person, their preferred goals, preferred name and preferred pronouns.
It is important to us that children and young people feel heard and understood.
