What other parents say

"The Assembly programme provided me (and my child!) with valuable insight into their behaviours and we came away with a range of easy-to-use tools to help us deal with the challenges we face. The clinicians are insightful and supported us every step of the way.

As an example, my son finds decision making very difficult and one of our flashpoints is choosing books to take when we leave the house. I did role reversal with him- he advised me on what books to pack for our overseas trip. He's just packed his hand luggage in less than 5 minutes with no issues at all!"

The Science of Assembly

Early, targeted help without a diagnostic label

An overstretched system means a growing number of children haven’t had any kind of assessment or support. Sometimes, children may get a diagnosis that doesn’t recognise their needs in other areas. As a result, parents and teachers are given advice that doesn’t deal with all of the child’s difficulties or how they affect one another. 

Many children don’t meet the diagnostic criteria for specific disorders but they still have needs. Sometimes this is because their dimensions develop slower or less compared to their peers due to genetic or environmental factors, causing functional difficulties at school or at home. We are all ‘wired differently’ to some extent but some children may be further along on a neurodevelopmental disorders spectrum.

Parents as the main change agent

We understand every parent wants their child to reach their full potential. That’s why we offer a unique, integrated and needs-based approach, recognising the child’s needs to help make life easier for everyone in the family. 

Parents are critical. Parents know their child best, and can observe them in the home environment where children typically don’t need to ‘mask’ or hide their difficulties. Parents are uniquely positioned to tailor the child’s environment, including their own responses, and to help children learn new skills in a familiar environment. There is a strong body of research on the importance of parental involvement in any behavioural or emotional intervention with a child.

We have designed Assembly to empower parents to help their child develop. 

This approach may be effective on its own but also complements traditional diagnostic assessments and interventions. As highly experienced clinicians, we have seen children develop across all of the interconnected dimensions, time and again. With the integrated needs-based approach that Assembly offers, we are confident that every child will be able to do so.
