Qualified and trained in:
At Neuronirvana, we see neurodivergence as a natural and valuable part of human diversity. Our work is grounded in the belief that children don’t need to be changed to succeed. They need to be understood, supported, and empowered in environments that celebrate who they are.
Neuronirvana’s Approach
Empowering Families. Elevating Care
Neuronirvana values the expertise families bring to their child’s care. We work closely with you to identify your child’s abilities and support needs, crafting goals that reflect your family’s priorities.
We Don't Fix Differences – We Celebrate Them
Our therapy embraces neurodiversity, focusing on strengths and individuality rather than trying to fix differences. We strive to create nurturing, inclusive environments that empower children to flourish
Support That Works in Real Life, Not Just on Paper
By combining clinical knowledge with your lived experience, we deliver evidence-informed, family-centred support. We provide clear strategies and education to help you champion your child’s growth in everyday life.
Therapy That Evolves With Your Child
Regular reviews and open communication keep therapy responsive and aligned with your child’s ongoing progress and your family’s goals.
Our support areas
How We Can Help
We support children across a wide range of developmental areas to help them participate with confidence in everyday life.
Motor Skills
We help children build both fine motor skills (like handwriting, cutting, using utensils) and gross motor skills (like balancing, jumping, and bike riding), all through fun, movement-based play.
Play
Play is how children express themselves and make sense of their world. We support children in engaging with play in ways that foster social connection, imagination, and learning—always embracing their individual interests and styles.
Emotional Reulation
Every child experiences and expresses emotions in their own unique way. We support children to understand their emotional responses, recognise what helps them feel safe and calm, and develop personalised strategies for everyday challenges.
Executive Functioning Skills
We support your child’s thinking and learning by strengthening attention, memory, planning, task initiation, and problem-solving — all foundational for daily success.
Self Care skills
We support children in learning and practicing daily routines like toileting, dressing, and brushing teeth in ways that suit their unique needs and preferences.
Sensory Processing
Every child experiences sensory input in their own unique way. We work with children and families to understand these sensory preferences and responses, supporting strategies that help children
School
We prepare children for classroom routines by supporting attention, transitions, task completion, and early learning skills. We also assist with Disability Inclusion Profile (DIP) reports for kinder and school settings.
