FAQ

  • Can you visit my child's school or daycare?

    We definitely can however it is best you begin that conversation with the school or daycare/preschool. Some schools do not allow therapists in at particular days or times.

  • What suburbs does Bloom EIS service?

    I am based in Hilltop, and I provide services across the Southern Highlands, from Hilltop to Kangaroo Valley. I also offer services in the Macarthur region, although availability may be limited.

  • Do I need to have NDIS funding to access services at Bloom EIS?

    Not at all! Although many families utilise NDIS funding it is not essential to begin services. I am also happy to assist families in accessing funding if needed.

    Please note that services utilise the capacity building funding bucket. Therapy is not able to be funded by Improved relationship buckets.

  • What if my child does not have a diagnosis?

    A diagnosis isn’t necessary to begin early intervention! I primarily work with children who have a range of disabilities, including:

    Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

    Global Developmental Delay (GDD)

    Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)

    Selective Mutism

    Other genetic disorders

  • What skills do you build within sessions?

    It all depends on your child’s individual needs. We use assessment tools to take a broader look at areas where support is needed, and we collaborate closely with you and your child's teachers to develop the most essential goals. Areas of skill development we can work on are:

    Communication

    Play and Leisure skills

    Group attending and responding

    Friendship and Sibling Relationships

    School Readiness Skills

    Receptive and Expressive Skills

    Community Skills

    Emotional Regulation

    Perspective Taking Skills

    Hygiene and Toileting

    Fine and Gross Motor Skills

  • What does early intervention sessions look like?

    Each child’s therapy sessions are unique! I focus on building skills through play-based learning, using a strengths-based approach. I prioritize incorporating children’s special interests and play, creating skills through joy and connection. Building strong relationships with your child and family is always my first priority.

    You’ll often find me playing ‘What’s the Time, Mr. Wolf?’ in daycares, knee-deep in sandpits, on the floor in your living room with siblings, logging onto Minecraft, leading group activities, or sitting at the table building skills in schools.
