Testimonial: Play15 Workshop

This workshop for parents was a wonderful practical way to help my husband and I enter our child's world. We learnt the power of play to help us to connect with our child which is what we want to do more than anything.

We feel we are empowered with the knowledge and information necessary to give us the direction to develop a loving relationship with our ASD child.

Testimonial: Ally

“I didn’t know what to do. By the age of two, my daughter was unable to function in everyday life. Every bath time was filled with terror, an outing outside was frightening because of flies and brushing her hair and teeth was excruciating. I have only mentioned a few issues.

Testimonial: Henry

"We were referred to Kids Matters because Henry was diagnosed with a severe tremor that was affecting his ability to write and draw.

Testimonial: Larry

"Larry received his formal diagnosis of Autism at just 2 years and 4 months. I was not shocked by the diagnosis - as a mother you know when something is not "quite right" with your child.

Testimonial: Christopher

Meeting Viv and her team was a pivotal point in my son’s journey through the maze of sensory defensiveness, and all of the impacts of this on our life. It was such a relief to learn that there was a reason for all of those things that we endured on a daily basis with Christopher, that we had not just raised an unruly, aggressive and angry little boy. Finally, we had some...

Testimonial:Fred

My wife and I had tried assisting with Fred's behavioural issues by implementing a wide variety of positive parenting strategies without much success. It was suggested that we seek additional professional assistance to help Fred with his behavioural and concentration issues. Fred was diagnosed with mild ADHD and is currently on Concerta medication.
