PSYCHOLOGY SERVICES AVAILABLE
Milestones Clinic offers a wide range of assessment and counselling services, including the following:
Comprehensive assessment for children and adolescents (4-18yrs) who are experiencing difficulties with learning, attention, and behaviour. Psychologists are able to provide diagnosis for Specific Learning Disorders (dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia), attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Often, psychologists work in collaboration with other allied health professionals in the treatment and diagnosis of ADHD and emotional disorders (clinical anxiety, depression), for example, paediatricians in cases where medical treatment is required. For ASD, best practice diagnosis usually involves collaboration between two or more practitioners, and your psychologist can discuss this process with you.
Individual counselling for children and adolescents with emotional and/or behavioural difficulties, such as anxiety or navigating emotional and social issues associated with autism.
​
Development of targeted and individualised home or school based behavioural intervention programs (in conjunction with parents and teachers), including direct liaison with schools where necessary.
New: Family therapy now available.
