Tuned in Music Therapy Tuned In Music Therapy provides individual and group music therapy programs for children, adolescents and adults to enhance health, ability and well-being. We have experience supporting a range of disabilities including autism, ADHD, physical and intellectual disabilities, stroke and brain rehabilitation and younger onset dementia. Music therapy is an evidence-based practice that involves the intentional use of music to achieve non-musical goals to enhance an individual's everyday life. Our supports are delivered by music therapists professionally registered with The Australian Music Therapy Association. Our programs are person-centred and tailored to the individual using a blend of known and improvisational (created in the moment) music. The music therapist uses their musical skills and therapeutic knowledge to develop appropriate interventions to strengthen abilities and achieve non-musical goals that are agreed with participants, families and, where possible, in collaboration with other service providers. We often report positive change for participants who attend our programs in cognitive, behavioural, communication, sensory motor and socio-emotional abilities. You can read more on our website about how music therapy works and see a little of what it looks like. No musical experience is required and individuals achieve their goals through active musical play on...

Twice Exceptional Educational Consultancy Rhonda Filmer - BA GradDipEd, COGE, M.EdAdmin (UNSW) & Chair of SPELD NSW I take appointments to discuss the learning profiles of bright and gifted children (but no-one is excluded – this is just my specialty) when there is underachievement and even failure to thrive at school. Often, there is undiagnosed ADHD or ADHD (PIP), sometimes with Specific Learning Disabilities as well. I do standardised Achievement testing and report to families and schools, I accompany parents to Learning Support team meetings at school to explain the challenges faced by children with ADHD and to demonstrate the need for remediation/ curricular adjustments. I also tutor students who have fallen behind their expected levels of achievement and progress at school and/or extend them in their areas of learning strength.
