Parent’s Domain is dedicated and passionate about supporting neurodiverse children.

Parent’s Domain helps to foster the development of:

• Social and Communication Skills

• Friendship Skills

• Emotional Regulation Skills

• Play Skills

• Reasoning Skills

Parent’s Domain draws on a range of key therapeutic elements of Autplay Therapy (certified provider), Play Therapy, Learn to Play Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Mindfullness techniques which are implemented in a naturalistic and neuro-affirming approach.

Parent’s Domain values neurodiversity affirming practices and aligns therapy to reflect Autplay Therapy key constructs:

• Strength based approach - see the child, identifying what works for a child, therapy is individualized to align with the child’s strengths

• Value the relationship as a core change agent - empathy, unconditional positive regard and acceptance

• Value and allow for multiple ways of communication - children communicate in many ways that are not verbal and these ways are respected an valued.

• Value and provide space for the child’s voice - neurodivergent children are the most marginalised group of people, often having to conform to a neurotypical world. Therapy aims to strive to provide space and opportunity for the neurodivergent child’s voice to be heard.

• Partnership with parents/caregiver - families play a vital role in therapy and therapy is not only child centered but family inclusive.

• Advocate for inclusion - Working collaborative and holistically with educators and key stakeholders to support the inclusion of children and any necessary accommodations.

Therapy sessions at Parent’s Domain are based on:

• Your child’s skills and area of focus

• Treatment planning to set goals with regular reviews

• Incorporating kindergarten and school supports

Parent’s Domain also provides resources to families and educational settings to help promote the generalization of skills.

Hence there are regular sessions with parents/care givers to work collaboratively to achieve a holistic approach.
