LAEI provides tailored support to help children develop new skills, build confidence and become more independent in everyday life.
Therapeutic Supports - Individualised programs targeting communication, social skills, daily living, emotional regulation and independence.
Specialised Behaviour Support (BSP) - Specialist support to understand the reasons behind behaviours of concern and develop practical strategies to improve children's safety, wellbeing and participation. This may include behaviour assessments and Behaviour Support Plans.
What's the difference? Therapeutic Supports focuses on developing everyday skills, while Behaviour Support addresses behaviours of concern through specialised assessment and planning.
Other services include specific skills programs (e.g., toileting), parent coaching and professionals training.
Please note that we do not offer occupational therapy, speech therapy or diagnostic services.
