Invitation To Parents

At My Therapy House, we work as a team with parents and caregivers to support your child’s development. You, as parents or caregivers, play a crucial role in your child’s journey.

We invite you to:

• actively participate in your child’s therapy sessions
• learn how to extend your child’s learning outside the therapy room
• recognise your own and your child’s strengths
• learn to communicate about your needs, as well as your child’s needs
• learn to communicate about your child in a positive way

This is the key to your child’s success!

What does this mean?

We believe that you, as a parent, are the cornerstone of your child’s development. You are their anchor and source of regulation, spending the most time with them. That’s why our work extends beyond your child—we collaborate with you, recognizing the importance of your own well-being so that you can be fully present and available for them.

You are your child’s champion—their advocate and positive voice. You see their unique abilities and believe in their potential, even when society’s language and systems focus on limitations rather than strengths. Terms like “disability,” “special needs,” and “learning issues” can make it harder to recognise what your child can do. Government support structures often focus on deficits rather than possibilities, shaping how resources are allocated.

At My Therapy House, we help you navigate these systems to support your child’s access to funding for therapeutic services while embracing a positive perspective: your child is already whole, with strengths, potential, and uniqueness. They are enough just as they are, growing into their authentic self.

“If you are always trying to be normal, you will never know how amazing you can be.” – Dr. Maya Angelou

We celebrate individual differences and believe every person is perfect in their own right. Our approach helps you embrace your child for who they are while supporting their journey toward their fullest potential.

How do we do this?

We work with you, both individually and during your child’s sessions, to:

• Train and mentor you in how to interact, communicate and play with your child based on your own and your child’s individual profiles
• Listen to your concerns, answer questions, and reframe and challenge attitudes and beliefs which may be holding you or your child back from developing to full potential
• Emotionally hold you and your child through times of uncertainty
• Refer to other providers, if and when you need extra or different types of support
• Take on your feedback and incorporate it into our service provision
• Set your goals together with you, so that you are able to work on your own development and realise your parenting potential while supporting you to help your child work on their goals
