Question 1

What services does My Therapy House offer for autistic children?

Accepted Answer

My Therapy House provides a comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach that includes Speech Pathology, Occupational Therapy, Early Childhood Education, and Parent Coaching services. We work with neurodivergent children using neuro-affirming, play-based approaches like DIRFloortime. Our team focuses on communication development, social-emotional skills, sensory regulation, and building strong parent-child relationships in a safe and nurturing environment.

Question 2

How early should I start therapy for my child?

Accepted Answer

The early years of your child's life are a time of rapid development and learning, making it an ideal time to introduce play-based therapy. Early intervention allows us to support your child in developing their knowledge of themselves and their world by addressing any challenges as early as possible. This helps build a strong foundation for communication, regulation, and social-emotional development.

Question 3

Do you work with non-speaking children?

Accepted Answer

Yes, absolutely. We use a variety of approaches and strategies to support both speaking and non-speaking children to communicate in ways that are meaningful for them. Our goal is to help every child feel understood, whether they communicate verbally or through alternative methods. We also help parents learn to nurture and understand their child's unique way of communicating.

Question 4

Will I be involved in my child's therapy?

Accepted Answer

Yes, parent involvement is central to our approach. We believe that relationships are the key to your child's development, and as a parent, you are at the centre of this growth. We offer different parent training programs tailored to your specific needs, teaching you tools and strategies to support your child's development at home. Our goal is to empower you to feel confident and grounded in your parenting.

Question 5

Do you offer flexible scheduling and online therapy options?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we understand that every family has different needs. We offer flexible scheduling to accommodate shift workers and families with varying circumstances. Our therapists are also equipped to deliver online therapy, which means we can support children and families who live in rural areas or interstate, ensuring your child's development continues no matter where you are.
