How a language match helps
- Assessment in your child’s stronger language gives a truer picture of what they can do
- Parent and grandparent coaching in Mandarin, so strategies actually carry over at home
- Support bridging between what happens at home and what the kindy or school expects
- Less lost in translation when goals, reports and next steps are discussed

Still not sure? Call the clinic on 0493 719 759 and we'll talk it through.
Can the whole session be in Mandarin?
Yes — sessions and parent coaching can be delivered in Mandarin. Some standardised assessment tools are only validated in English; your therapist will explain how that is handled and what it means for the results.
Is there an extra charge for a language match?
No. Language-matched therapy is billed at our standard session fee.
