Our team of experienced child psychologists in Melbourne provides early play-based therapy for children with autism and developmental delays, supporting children aged 1 to 16 years.
Play-Based Therapy Services
At Play Psychology, our team of experienced child psychologists in Melbourne provides neuro-affirming, play-based therapy for children and families with a range of developmental, communication, emotional and behavioural needs. We support children aged 1 to 16 years through evidence-based, child-led approaches that promote emotional, social, and communication development.
We take the time to understand each child as an individual, including their unique strengths, interests, communication style, sensory needs and ways of experiencing the world. Our approach focuses on connection, understanding and supporting the child.
Our psychologists also conduct play-based developmental assessments, including:
-
- PEP-3 Developmental Assessment
- Initial play-based assessment and parent interview
