You’re not alone.

Our Childhood Review Assessment will help to identify what’s happening for your child and what your options are.

Dion can help get you sorted so you can stop wondering and focus on the things that matter.

For $605, Dion will work with you to understand where to start and what should happen next.

Simple. Practical. No unnecessary complications.

Have questions about your child’s development but don’t know where to start?

Then you are in the right place!

Trying to understand your child can be difficult, especially if they’re your first.

What parts are the things they’ve learnt from others, their personality coming through and forming, their way of asking for help and what are the things that are happening that neither of you can explain?

Parenting is far from easy or straight forward and it’s ok to ask questions and not understand sometimes.

What am I Paying For and How Does it Help?

The CRA is is designed to help families with young children understand and navigate their child's development with confidence. 

This service is provided through the following processes: 

  • Structured developmental assessment and discussion with you (approximately 2 hours).

  • Review of any reports or evidence provided. 

  • Provision of a written report outlining the developmental and functional picture identified through the review, along with recommendations and potential next steps (within two weeks of your appointment date).

What’s In The Report?

The report provided is there to provide clarity around what’s happening for your child and assist you in:

  • Identifying what migh be age appropriate

  • What to monitor

  • What areas are worth investigating for support

  • Tips and strategies to get you started

It will also include what your options are for support with recommended actions.

The information provided can be used to help:

  • Clinical supports such as GP, paediatrician or allied health teams

  • Help support a referral to a paediatrician

  • Help access a Chronic Condition Management Plan through your GP

  • Support conversations at day-care or school

  • Support applications to the NDIS.

Who is Dion Tobi?

Dion Tobi works as a Support Coordinator and understands child development and the NDIS from inside the sector.

He knows how confusing accessing supports can look when you're first getting started and how overwhelming the NDIS can be.

Instead of giving you another giant list of things to research, Dion helps you work through what actually needs to be done.

You can ask questions along the way and get clear answers in normal English.

Is This For You?

This may be helpful if:

  • You want to understand your child’s development

  • You're unsure where to start

  • You've already started but feel stuck

  • You have documents but don't know if you've covered everything

  • You want someone familiar with childhood development and the NDIS to guide you through the process and help you understand you options for support

You don't need to know everything before you start.

That's the point.

NDIS Recommendations

Where the NDIS is the recommended pathway, this includes helping you:

  • Understand what paperwork you actually need

  • Identify anything that is missing

  • Get your supporting documents organised correctly

  • Understand the next steps

  • Avoid wasting weeks trying to figure it out alone

    The goal is simple.

    Get the paperwork sorted so you can move forward.

Please note: Information contained within the Childhood Pathway Review may be useful when exploring or applying for NDIS supports. DMTCSS does not guarantee that NDIS access will be recommended or, where it is recommended, that an application will be successful.
