Screening
Play Partners offers hearing and auditory processing screening for children aged 4+ through the Hearing Australia Sounds Scouts App.
Individual Therapy
Individual therapy sessions are available at Play Partners Centre in Clare or by negotiation with education sites, childcare centres and day options centres. Therapy sessions are generally 45 or 60 minutes long and are either weekly or fortnightly depending on need. Play Partners has a commitment to making therapy relevant, interesting and transferable to other situations so parents or those involved are actively encouraged to participate in sessions.
Telehealth
All allied health staff at Play Partners are able to utilise telehealth, so this is an option for therapy if preferred.
