Local support

How we support The Ponds

The Ponds is a planned family suburb with parks, walking paths and a cluster of primary schools and early learning centres. Many households have young children, so early communication, play and school readiness are frequent reasons families first get in touch.

The team also supports older children and teenagers in The Ponds with social communication, executive functioning and sensory strategies, working alongside schools and after-school activities where that helps.

Parent coaching is popular with families in The Ponds because it turns therapy recommendations into routines that fit real mornings, mealtimes and homework time rather than adding another appointment to the week.

Getting to the clinic. The Marsden Park clinic is about ten minutes from The Ponds by car via Schofields Road, with Schofields station the nearest train connection.
