How to choose the right provider in Dowsing Point

• Check their scope and specialisation: Ensure the provider's registered services align with your specific therapeutic needs, whether that's occupational therapy, speech pathology, or psychology.
• Consider travel and accessibility: With a limited number of local options, discuss session locations—whether in-home, at their clinic, or via telehealth—to find a practical fit.
