Our Services.

Executive Function Services

  • Executive Function Therapy.

    Individualised executive function therapy for neuro-diverse children, teens, and adults. You can expect greater independence through the collaborative development of executive function strategies. Telehealth or face to face sessions available.

    For younger children and teens, therapy usually entails a combination of 1:1 sessions with children, joint sessions with children and parents, and sessions with parents only.

  • Workshops and Training.

    On-line workshops for Parents and for Educators (teachers, aides, tutors) to promote Executive Function development through using everyday tasks and interactions.

    Through our workshops you will learn how to replace doing things for your child/student, with teaching them HOW to complete tasks more independently.

FAQs

  • Difficulties with executive functions can present as struggling to be ready on time, difficulty starting or completing tasks without support, lacking confidence to try new things, difficulty remembering more than one or two instructions at once, frequently forgetting or misplacing items, difficulties with time management, etc.

    These can impact on home life (being able to get ready independently, being able to problem solve when life throws a curve ball), and academic or work life (knowing where to start, juggling multiple tasks and deadlines at once).

  • We work with anybody who struggles with Executive Functions (planning, problem solving, initiation, staying on task, multi-tasking and more!). We work particularly well with individuals who are neurodivergent (kids and adults), have an Acquired Brain Injury (ABI), Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Twice Exceptional or those who have undergone a paediatric oncology diagnosis and treatments.

    You do not need a formal diagnosis to work with us.

  • Dandelion Hub is based in Brunswick West, Melbourne.

    We provide face to face and video telehealth sessions.

    We conduct all face to face appointments in the community (i.e., at your home, school, office, etc.). We do not offer appointments at our office.

  • A place in our 1.5 hour workshop is $45 per household.

    Our fees for a 50 minute therapy session are $220.

    If providing face to face sessions (which are typically held at the client’s home or school) travel is charged at $190 per hour (pro-rata in 10 minute increments).

    In specific situations Medicare is able to cover the partial cost of a limited number of sessions. Please contact us for more information.

    Please note that Dandelion Hub is able to offer a reduced fee for a limited number of clients who require this to access services.  Please discuss this during your initial 20 minute consult phone call.  

  • We are registered providers for TAC and Medicare. We provide services under the NDIS for families who are self-managed or plan-managed with the NDIS. For NDIS participants we are unable to provide behaviour support under the "Relationship Building" category as this requires an NDIS registered practitioner.

    For Medicare rebates, please note Medicare does not cover the full cost of sessions, and a prior referral from your GP is required. For our service, Medicare rebates are typically only available for people with a diagnosis of ADHD, and for a set number of sessions. Please feel free to discuss further with us if you are unsure.

  • We do not currently conduct any Neuropsychology assessments (including cognitive assessments, assessments for ADHD, etc).
