At this point in time, tertiary qualified professionals are developing and writing the courses. This enables research based evidence to be used to assist the participant to develop their skills and knowledge. These professionals continue to work alongside the participant and their family and carers to collect and analyse data to determine whether the participant is benefiting from the course and then adjusting the course if the participant is not seeing results.

The programs developed at Talking Point are designed by tertiary qualified Allied Health professionals, who have also had experience working in a variety of school settings. The programs are designed to build essential literacy and numeracy skills. Without mastery of these skills your child will have difficulty progressing on to more challenging skills. These courses are tailored to the individual child’s needs.

The NDIS is Australia’s first national Scheme for people with disability. It provides funding directly to individuals.
