CHILDREN'S HEALTH GOLD COAST
What To Expect
Many Gold Coast parents come to us looking for a whole-person approach for their child. We take a whole-person approach.
GOLD COAST PAEDIATRIC WELLNESS
Integrative Care For Children
Your child's children's health care is shaped by what their nervous system is telling us. We draw on qEEG insights, gentle chiropractic, naturopathy and neurotherapy to tailor support. Every plan is built around your child, integrating modalities rather than offering a single standalone treatment.
THE WHOLE-CHILD APPROACH
Five Developmental Domains, One Integrated Plan
Every child's assessment and support plan spans five interconnected developmental domains. No single area is treated in isolation — the whole child is always the focus.
Psycho-motor
Adaptive
Communication
Emotional & Social
Cognition
The
Whole
Child
Psycho-motor
Movement, balance, coordination, primitive reflex integration and postural development
Adaptive Behaviour
Daily living skills, self-care, independence and flexibility in routine
Communication
Language, speech, expression, understanding and social communication
Emotional & Social
Emotional regulation, relationships, social awareness and behaviour
Cognition
Memory, attention, learning, problem-solving and executive function
HOW WE WORK WITH YOUR FAMILY
From First Contact To Ongoing Support
Our process is clear and unhurried. Every step is explained before you commit to anything, and no plan is finalised until you and your child have had the opportunity to ask questions.
Assessment
A thorough individual assessment across physical, neurological, emotional and biochemical health — no two children are assessed the same way.
Understanding Your Child
We analyse what the assessment reveals about your child's individual needs, strengths and developmental profile.
Individualised Support Plan
A customised program tailored to your child's needs, with clear goals, integrated modalities and realistic timelines.
Parent & Family Strategies
We work alongside your family to implement strategies in everyday life, with coaching, check-ins and ongoing support.
OUR CHILDREN'S PROGRAM
What We Consider In Child Development
Our assessment and program design draw on the following areas of child development and behaviour.
Epigenetic Factors
Inherited patterns, genetic susceptibilities, environmental influences, biochemical factors, and gestation and birth history.
Primitive Reflexes
Retained neonatal primitive reflexes, body awareness, and safety and sound integration.
Autonomic Nervous System
The system that regulates body processes such as blood pressure, respiration, digestion, arousal and sleep.
Sleep Health
Sleep routines and patterns, and the role sleep plays in emotional regulation and daily function.
Postural Reflexes
Vestibular, ocular and proprioceptive input; spinal, joint and muscle movement and coordination.
Biochemistry & Nutrition
Metabolic regulation, cellular health, functional medicine and DNA testing where appropriate.
Sensory Integration
Integration of the five senses, interoception and proprioception as a foundation for emotional expression and pattern recognition.
Feelings & Behaviour
Making meaning of emotions, role modelling and emotional regulation.
Sensory-Motor Perception
Understanding spoken words, visual awareness, speech development, hand-eye coordination and auditory integration.
Social Brain & Cognition
Behavioural strategies, learning styles, self-control, body language awareness, understanding social cues and family coaching.
Our Four-Phase Developmental Protocol
We follow a sequential, four-phase developmental program from infancy through to adulthood. Each phase considers five areas: psycho-motor, adaptive behaviour, communication, emotional and social development, and cognition. A multidisciplinary team first assesses function and behaviour, then designs a personalised program for each phase. We also educate parents and educators on personalised learning environments, and our key-worker model provides each family with a personalised plan and an ongoing point of contact.
Phase 1
Physical Safety & Movement
Vestibular, auditory and visual sensory integration, with attention to postural development and control, gross and fine motor coordination, timing and sequencing, body awareness, eye coordination and self-care. Sleep patterns and inherited metabolic factors are also considered.
Phase 2
Emotional Safety & Regulation
A focus on understanding each child’s individual emotional needs and creating emotionally safe environments, with respectful engagement, encouraging language and regular assessment across all domains.
Phase 3
Communication & Learning To Play
A family-centred approach using play-based learning shaped around a child’s interests and natural way of learning, across psycho-motor, emotional, communication, social and cognitive areas.
Phase 4
Social Interaction & Making Choices
A focus on social navigation and decision-making. Children are guided to reflect on choices and experiences, considering context and the feelings of others.
SPECIALIST MODALITIES
How We Support Your Child
Several specialist modalities work together within a single, coordinated care plan tailored to your child.
Behavioural Modification & Family Coaching
Our Social Brain & Interaction protocols focus on brain development and the influence of the social environment on emotional state and behaviour. This approach aims to assist families in understanding each family member's emotional needs through communicative patterns of behaviour and movement. It is grounded in the science of learning and behaviour, identifying a child's learning style, emotional needs and values. Through parent coaching, specific tools and skills are applied to support the child in everyday life, fostering emotional regulation, independence and improved social interaction.
Brain Mapping (QEEG) & Neurotherapy
Using state-of-the-art technology, we employ Quantitative Electroencephalography (QEEG) to create brain maps illustrating the electrical activity of the brain. This is statistically compared to a database of typical brain activity, providing a quantitative indication of differences in brain function. Our QEEG analysis is independently reviewed by an expert team. Where appropriate, Neurofeedback (also called Neurotherapy or EEG biofeedback) is used as a non-invasive way of training the brain to use more productive brainwave patterns, strengthening neural pathways and increasing mental endurance and flexibility. Neurotherapy is accompanied by functional brain exercises, other relevant treatments and nutritional support to optimise brain health.
Functional Neurology & Postural Rehabilitation
Our postural and functional neurology program integrates practices from functional neurology, occupational therapy, vision therapy and cutting-edge digital technology. It is designed to support individuals facing neurodevelopmental challenges. Areas of the brain involved in movement, including the cerebellum, basal ganglion, thalamus and prefrontal cortex, also play roles in cognition and emotional integration. The program addresses retained primitive reflexes and movement patterns through MNRI therapy, photobiomodulation and coordinated rehabilitation exercises, with the goal of improving learning behaviour, attention, focus, coordination and emotional regulation.
