Support for NDIS participants
neurocare is a registered NDIS provider, and we provide programs under the Capacity Building stream. While specific support and funding will be based on your individual goals, we generally support participants under Improved Daily Living or Social and Community Participation.
Some common conditions we work with are:
- Developmental delays and intellectual disability
- Specific learning disability in reading, writing or spelling
- Neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism spectrum disorder, Down syndrome, or cerebral palsy.
We foster a collaborative approach, working closely with NDIS participants, their caregivers, families, and support workers. Together, we establish purposeful objectives and provide the necessary assistance to empower you / your child in reaching their potential.
Speech Pathology for Children
Our Hawthorn team has a particular passion for helping children with speech and language disorders, autism and other or related difficulties and disorders.
We strongly recommend early intervention. Engaging children in therapy early in their development is most effective at reducing the effects of their condition and the need for therapy later in life. Our team incorporates game-like activities and play based therapy into treatment to connect with children, following children’s inherent motivations to work together on therapy goals.
The neurocare clinic in Hawthorn, offering Speech Pathology & Speech Therapy
We also support parents to become more adept at helping children develop and grow in their communication and social interaction. Our family-centred approach encompasses parents, as well as General Practitioners, Teachers, and other community members who play an important role in embedding new behaviours and habits into everyday life.
The neurocare approach
We believe in a person-centred approach – beginning with assessing you or your child’s abilities before creating a program personalised to your circumstances and needs.
At neurocare you can access individual therapies or benefit from the support of our multidisciplinary team. Our skilled practitioners offer auditory processing, psychotherapy, cognitive training, and neuromodulation, as well as cognitive, educational and ADHD assessments.
