About Us

At Neurodiverse Playhouse, we do therapy differently. Our team of passionate allied health professionals supports neurodivergent children in a way that's fun, respectful, and led by the child.

We work with children with Autism, ADHD, developmental language disorders, apraxia, social communication differences, and sensory processing needs. We focus on neuroaffirming, play-based therapy that embraces alternative communication methods (like AAC and Gestalt Language Processing) and supports children at their own pace.

Our beautiful clinic in Yarraville offers indoor and outdoor spaces designed to help kids feel calm, safe, and engaged in their learning and communication.
