What progress means
Functional changes families can observe.
Progress is measured by meltdown frequency, intensity, recovery time, and parent confidence.
Behaviour support is integrated with OT, speech, sensory, and parent coaching where needed.
Assessment-first planning instead of one-size-fits-all therapy
Parent guidance included so skills are practised at home
Monthly progress reviews with clear next goals
Every child is different. DARC reviews goals against the child's own starting point and daily participation.
◆ What happens in therapy
A clear plan before parents commit.
Parents should know what the first visit is for before committing to repeated sessions. DARC begins by understanding your child's profile, parent priorities, school or home concerns, and which therapy inputs need to work together.
