Our process
Children up to 3 years
During the first session, a screening will be done with the child. Please note that this is not an in dept assessment and that no report will be written. The child's attachment, experience of playgroup/pre-school, emotional development and energy level will be assessed. A follow-up parental guidance/feedback session must be made, where recommendations regarding follow-up therapeutic intervention and future planning will be made. The therapists working with children in this age group are Inanda (mornings), Salomé (mornings), and Nicolette (Friday afternoons and Saturday mornings). Clients can make an appointment with the relevant therapist based on time availability and therapeutic needs. The intake form must be completed and signed by both parents before an appointment can be made.
Children age 3 to 12 years
We love to start with the child on a clean slate! We do not require any information about the child before the session, as objectivity is very important to us. During the first session, a screening of the child's emotional language, level of energy, attachment, socialization skills and school experience will be done through play. Please not that this is not a socio-emotional assessment and no reports will be written. A follow-up parental guidance/feedback session must be made on a different day as the intake session. Recommendations regarding follow-up therapeutic intervention and future planning will be made with the parents. The intake form must be completed and signed by both parents before an appointment can be made. Therapists working with this age-group are Inanda (mornings), Emile (afternoons), Nicolette (Friday afternoon and Saturday mornings) and Ri'ana (only age 11 upwards).
