The Animal Framework Advantage

What makes our behavior support so effective?

Children learn to embody positive characteristics of Australian animals - the calm of a Koala, the strength of a Kangaroo, the resilience of a Wombat. It's not just engaging - it's internationally recognized at the PBIS Leadership Forum for its effectiveness.

    If you're unsure whether we can support your specific situation, we encourage you to contact us to discuss your needs. We're always happy to have a conversation about how we might be able to help or connect you with appropriate services.

  • What if my child won't engage with therapy?

    That's exactly why we developed the Animal Framework and built our sensory space. Children who've refused other therapies love our approach because it doesn't feel like "therapy".

  • Can we use your sensory space for respite?

    Absolutely! Our sensory space is perfect for respite care, giving you a break while your child enjoys a safe, engaging environment.

  • How quickly will we see changes?

    Most families report positive changes within 2-4 weeks, with significant improvements by 8 weeks.

  • What areas do you service?

    We're based in Merrylands, NSW, and provide in-person services throughout Merrylands and surrounding suburbs in Western Sydney. Our service area includes communities such as Guildford, Granville, Parramatta, Wentworthville, Greystanes, Pemulwey, Woodpark, and other nearby localities.


    We also offer telehealth appointments across Australia, making our support accessible to individuals and families regardless of their location. Telehealth can be particularly beneficial for speech therapy, occupational therapy consultations, psychology sessions, and behavior support planning.


    If you're unsure whether we service your specific area, please don't hesitate to contact us. We're always happy to discuss your location and explore how we can best support you, whether that's through in-person visits, telehealth, or a combination of both.
