Our Approach
Non-Invasive Techniques
We utilise non-invasive methods to evaluate and address developmental immaturity, which can hinder learning, attention, motor skills and emotional regulation.
Our approach focuses on screening for the lingering presence of primitive reflexes and assessing postural reflexes. We then address any developmental immaturity to enhance foundations for learning and daily functioning.
Neuro-Affirming
Our approach focuses on the goals of the individual. Using non-invasive, gentle, and developmentally appropriate movements we help children overcome challenges related to learning and daily functioning, often seen with autistic individuals and those with ADHD, ADD, Dyspraxia and Dyslexia.
Empowering Children & Families to Thrive
At our practice, we’re dedicated to helping children overcome challenges and reach their potential. Led by Tegan Piacentini, a highly experienced educator, Neurodevelopmental Practitioner, and parent within a neurodiverse family, we combine proven methods with compassion and understanding.
We specialise in supporting children with neurodevelopmental challenges, trauma, and diverse needs through tailored assessments and intervention programs. Our practice is a safe space where families feel heard, supported, and empowered to create lasting change.
Together, we’ll help your child build confidence, skills, and a strong foundation for life.
Let’s get to the root cause of your child’s learning, sensory and behaviour challenges.

What does Neuro-Motor and Sensory Immaturity look like?
As a parent:
You may have noticed your child finds certain everyday tasks harder than they should be, even though they’re bright and capable. Their teacher might say “they could do better” or “they’re not meeting their potential”. At home, you might see fidgeting, daydreaming, difficulty listening, or a reluctance to try new things.
You may also notice meltdowns or big reactions that feel disproportionate to what triggered them, a missed transition, an unexpected noise, a request to stop one activity and start another. These moments can be confusing and exhausting for the whole family, especially when they seem to come out of nowhere. This is often what neuro-motor and sensory immaturity looks like on the outside, a nervous system that is still working to catch up to the demands being placed on it, and one with a narrower window of tolerance than expected for their age.
As an adult:
You may have spent years building strategies to work around what felt hard, avoiding situations that involved reading or writing under pressure, finding your own way to manage focus, coordination, or balance. These same immaturities don’t disappear with age; they’re often just better hidden.
You may also notice your own reactions can feel bigger than the situation calls for, frustration, overwhelm, or shutting down when things pile up or change unexpectedly. The compensating still takes real effort, and by the end of the day that effort can leave you genuinely exhausted, even when nothing “went wrong”.
