Children in context

Working with the child and the world around them

Children rarely experience difficulties in isolation. Understanding family relationships, school experiences, developmental stage and day-to-day routines can help build a more useful picture of what is happening.

Parent involvement is considered according to the child's needs, age and goals. An initial conversation helps determine the most suitable format.
