Therapy GroupsThe Child Development Clinic offer a range of evidence-based group therapy programs for children and adolescents which are run throughout school term and holidays. Groups are a great opportunity for your child to meet same-aged peers with similar challenges, and provide a unique opportunity for children to practice skills learnt in a safe and fun environment.
