Play-Based
Therapy Services
At Play Psychology, our team of experienced child psychologists in Melbourne provides play-based therapy for children with autism and developmental delays. We support children aged 1 to 16 years through evidence-based, child-led approaches that promote emotional, social, and communication development.

- WISC-IV
- WPPSI
- Vineland Adaptive Behaviour Scales
- PEP-3
