Resources
Intake Assessment
Treatment Plan and Intervention
Tailored, Ongoing Assessments and Reports
The Lead Clinician of the therapy team will complete an initial coordinated care visit with your child and family/carer, which will be shared with the multidisciplinary team.

Benefits
- Whole child approach
- Reduced need for you to repeat your child’s history and essential information

Through careful collaboration with you and your child, the team will propose an intervention approach to achieve your child’s goals.

- A copy of the agreed intervention plan, which you can share with key people in your child’s life and use to chart progress
- Simple, easy-to-understand ‘next steps’ for your family
Where appropriate, a dynamic assessment approach is used, allowing for a fluid evaluation process and time to build rapport with the child. Care Squared Kids will work with you to determine the best timing for the team report, so that information is accurate and up-to-date when you need it.
Benefits:
