Support options

Support options may include:

  • Cognitive assessment
    Comprehensive assessment to identify and understand any underlying cognitive difficulties – screeners for Autism and ADHD are also available.

Accessing support

Our psychology services are available at KU’s child friendly clinics located on the grounds of several KU venues in NSW and Victoria. In some areas, it may be possible for support to be provided:

  • within the early childhood education and care service your child attends.
