Assessment & Therapy with Young People 

Often young people with learning needs have extensive assessment and therapy as a child. All too often this ceases in the adolescent years, even though the young person could continue to benefit. It may have been because attending therapy became a battle, because it was difficult to find the right fit, or simply because the young person became tired of the commitment.

At NextPath we aim to provide assessment and therapy for a purpose. This might be to:

• Achieve a life goal such as gaining employment or participating in an activity in the community;
• Gain a greater understanding of a young person’s strengths and areas for improvement;
• Provide a service that specialises in collaborating with young adults and their supporters;
• Provide opportunities for a young person to practice the skills they are developing in real life situations.

The therapies we offer include:

• Speech pathology to help young people improve their talking and listening skills so they can participate fully in their community.
• Occupational therapy to help young people to develop capacity and independence to engage in meaningful activities in their daily lives.
• Recreation therapy to help young people engage in leisure activities they enjoy to maintain and promote their physical, social and emotional well-being.

Our team is growing, so please contact us if you are seeking other therapies.
