Help change the life trajectory of country kids like Jack
Providing the right services and support means children with even the most complex developmental conditions can learn, adapt, and live a happy life.
That’s exactly why the Paediatric Developmental Program exists. Our team of multi-disciplinary clinicians collaborate with children, their parents and their school to assess and figure out what’s going on for country kids like Jack.
