For many years, Ability WA has been recognised as a leader in early childhood disability services.
We invest heavily in employing therapists with a range of experiences and who are able to support different levels of complexity in disability. Our therapists have significant expertise in working with children from diagnosis in infants onwards. In fact, Ability WA is one of the very few providers of early childhood disability services who work with infants under the age of two years.
We also believe strongly in family wellness – you can only provide the best for your child if you are well supported and provided with the information and tools to achieve the goals you have for your whole family.
We understand the impact that accessing effective therapy services early in life has on a child's therapy outcomes and we work collaboratively with children and their families to develop skills they’ll use now and into their adult lives.
