SCHOOL READINESS PROGRAM
Set your child up for success with our School Readiness Program at Hide and Speech Allied Health
Discover the warmth and support of our neuroaffirming school readiness program, thoughtfully designed for children preparing to start primary school. This group is ideal for children who may benefit from additional support in social, emotional, language, and cognitive development before entering a more structured classroom environment.
In our safe and engaging space, children build confidence and skills alongside peers of similar ages and developmental goals. Each group is led by two experienced therapists and kept small (4–8 children) to ensure each child receives personalised attention and support.
Our program supports children with a range of needs, including those with autism spectrum disorder, language delays or disorders, attention challenges, or anxiety. We focus on making learning fun, comfortable, and empowering—helping children thrive as they transition into school life.
Our Hide and Prep Program will run throughout Terms 3 and 4, 2025, at our Caulfield South clinic.
