Parenting Support

At Kids Matters, we believe every family deserves to feel supported, confident, and able to enjoy the journey of life with their child. Your child is not a problem to be fixed – they are a unique individual with their own strengths, ways of thinking, and endless potential.

We work alongside children and their families to understand their needs and support their development in a way that feels right for them. Through assessment, practical strategies, and evidence based knowledge, we help build the skills and foundations that make everyday life more manageable and meaningful.

Our goal is to walk beside you, so you can feel empowered, supported, and able to embrace life with your child. We celebrate progress, navigate challenges, and recognise the strengths that make your child who they are.

How We Assist Children & Support Parents

Our services include:

  • Assessment – Identify underlying causes for challenges
  • Educate – Help child, parents and teachers understand the reasons for challenges
  • Set goals – Set achievable and meaningful goals with families
  • Provide therapy – To improve both developmental foundations and skills
  • Training – Provide guidance in strategies to overcome challenges

Assessment Process

The assessment process will vary according to the needs of each child. Most people have two assessment sessions where we hear your concerns and then complete a variety of formal and informal tests and observations. We then generally analyze the results and report our findings back to you in a Feedback session. Here, goals will be set in collaboration with you and treatment recommendations will be made in accordance with these.
