Our Approach
Each child is unique and there is no ‘one-size-fits-all’ solution to therapy. That is why at Tok Tok we provide holistic therapy using a multidisciplinary approach. Our dynamic assessments allow our team to determine appropriate goals for your child. Establishing a baseline for therapy ensures we are targeting all the gaps in your child’s skillset. With family and teacher input, we develop individualised programs that enable our kids to achieve their goals.
At Tok Tok, we believe that parents and carers are the best ‘therapists’ for their child. We prioritise parent education and training to ensure consistency and follow-through at home.
Utilising our skilled Therapy Assistants is a cost-effective way for families to access more intervention. Our qualified therapists conduct the assessments and develop the programs for our Assistants to implement with your child.
