How this all started...

Introducing the Neurodiverse Playhouse, a concept envisioned by Melissa – a mother of three, and a qualified Podiatrist with over 18-years experience  with a special interest in Paediatrics. Driven by her personal journey, Melissa's brainchild emerged from the profound need she experienced in her own life.

Struggling to navigate the intricacies of numerous therapy centers scattered across Brisbane, Melissa was determined to provide her little human with a holistic range of engagements that would aid them in reaching their individual goals. 

Melissa recognised that the disjointed nature of seeking therapy across multiple clinics in cold office like environments,  not only presented logistical hurdles but also hindered learning, skill mastery, effective goal-setting and collaboration among therapists. She sought a solution that could bring together the expertise of various therapies in close proximity, streamlining the process for families like her own.

Guided by her personal and professional insight, the Neurodiverse Playhouse serves as a testament to her passion and  commitment to high quality and effective evidence based therapy. Her concept is one that goes beyond convenience; it's a manifestation of her dedication to creating an environment where children can access a spectrum of therapies seamlessly. Melissa's vision fosters collaboration, empowers parents, and ensures that every child, irrespective of their unique needs, can thrive and flourish.

Melissa's vision is shaped by personal experience, professional expertise, and heartfelt care.   Through her journey of discovery and her commitment to fostering a comprehensive, unified space, Melissa is poised to make a lasting impact on the lives of children and families seeking holistic therapeutic solutions.
