Are you concerned about your child’s development? Does your child already have a diagnosis? Do you want to help your child learn? Do you want to get started now?

  • Initial goal setting meeting
  • Weekly small group sessions
  • Individual sessions with a therapist
  • Supported home program
  • Progress reports provided

Venue: Lifestart Turramurra

The Help Me Learn program is provided through the Department of Ageing Disability and Home Care to support the Northern Sydney LPA.
