Address At NAPA Centre, we offer world renown paediatric therapy services that embrace each child’s differences and work with them to overcome their unique challenges. Our allied health professionals develop individualised intensive therapy programs with unique combinations of our wide range of speech, physical, occupational and other innovative therapies. Because each intensive program is tailored to a specific child, no two intensives are exactly alike. However our beautiful customers follow up their intensive program with weekly sessions - so our therapists not only get exposure and diversity but build the relationships and consistency with the kids too!
