Parents

If you're wondering where to start when accessing support, you're in the right place.

OTs and SLTs are experts in child development and we are making our service available to anyone who needs it. You can book a once off consultation if you just need a bit of guidance for something that has come up at home/school, or you can book in for more regular support if you feel it is needed.

How does the service work?

We are an online service and support is provided via video consultations where we work with you, the parent/guardian of a child. 

We are focused on providing functional, strengths based support for everyday issues that may arise. With this being our focus, we don't provide diagnoses or assessments.

You can book consultations with any of the therapists below as you need to, it's that simple. Their areas of expertise are listed so you can get support from a therapist who fits your needs.

How long is the waiting list?

We typically get families on their first consultation within 7 days.

How long are the consultations?

Consultations are 45 - 50 minutes

How much does it cost?

It is €80 per consultation. If you have private health insurance a receipt will be provided so you can claim back a portion of the cost if it is covered under your policy.
