Still not sure? Call the clinic on 0493 719 759 and we'll talk it through.
Can parent coaching be done in Cantonese?
Yes. Coaching the adults around the child is a core part of what we do, and it can be delivered in Cantonese so it is genuinely usable at home.
What if the therapist who speaks Cantonese is fully booked?
We will tell you the likely wait, and can start with another therapist and an interpreter, or over telehealth, if you would rather not wait.
