HOLISTIC THERAPY UNDER ONE ROOF

Raising a child with complex needs can be a physically and emotionally exhausting journey. Finding the right support system shouldn’t be.

We go beyond meeting your child where they are — we meet them where they want to go.



That's why we've created Spectrum Therapy — a safe haven where your child can learn, grow, and receive comprehensive care from people who truly care.

Explore our clinic

You're always welcome to stop by and say hello in person, but if you can’t wait, here’s a quick tour of our little learners’ favourite spots! 



Plus, our clinic offers:

- 1:1 therapy rooms, where your child won’t be overwhelmed by others
- Regular cleanings to ensure everyone's safety
- Natural light throughout the entire office
- Plenty of nearby parking
- A cosy waiting room



Sensory Gym

In our sensory gym, your child can explore and regulate their bodies through activities like swinging, climbing, and movement, all tailored to their unique sensory needs. We’ve got fun equipment like a cloud swing, trampoline, monkey bars, slides, balance beams, and climbing frames!



Leadership Team

Care was falling through the cracks, traditional care was more reactive than proactive, and no one seemed to connect the dots of the importance of a multidisciplinary approach, making it hard for kids to get the holistic help they really needed. 



With over 10 years of experience working with kids, teens, and parents, Nadia has a deep understanding of what works (and what doesn't!) in both private and public settings. Her expertise includes diagnostic assessments for autism spectrum disorder (ASD), using tools like ADOS and ADI-R — as well as understanding the various presentations of autism across different genders.

It all started with a big dream: To revolutionise child development care. Nadia had seen first hand how kids were being let down by fragmented systems.
