Assessments for children & tamariki $250
We are committed to providing maximum impact assessments that get to the bottom of language, listening, literacy and learning problems at the lowest possible price for families and whanau.  Our assessments identify pathways for intervention for speech and language difficulties and difficulties in communication-related areas including reading / spelling & Dyslexia, attention / working memory & ADHD, listening & auditory processing, and academic achievement.  Our assessments also support referrals to the Paediatrician, the Audiologist, the Ear Nose and Throat Specialist, the Ministry of Education Learning Support service, and the Resource Teacher service. 

Payment plans, discounts and financial assistance
Our payment plans are interest-free, and there are no hidden account fees or finance charges.  Therapy discounts are available for families & whanau who do not receive the WINZ Child Disability Allowance or who have 2 or more children & tamariki in therapy, or who come for 2 or more therapy sessions every week.  We support the families & whanau of children & tamariki with Communication Disorders to apply for the WINZ Child Disability Allowance.  (This allowance is not income tested and - if approved - pays around $48 per week directly to families & whanau as a contribution toward extra costs incurred in meeting children & tamariki needs.)
