Developmental Educators work with people who have disabilities on developing their strengths to enhance their quality of life.
Our developmental educators work multi-disciplinary and holistically to improve independence, learn skills and cope in environments.
Our approach is based on an initial assessment and is then tailored to the needs and circumstances of you and your family.

What do our developmental education services involve?
At ESA, our developmental education team are dedicated and qualified in occupational therapy, speech and language therapy, physiotherapy and psychology.
This allows a diverse group of clinicians with various skills to support your family in learning new skills and gain greater independence.
We help anyone who needs support, and their therapy or treatment will be tailored to each individual.
We will often meet with you initially to gather background information and comprehensive history to help a clinician understand your child’s development. The sessions then would be a combination of working with your child, working with the parent or caregiver, and then working altogether.
