About Leading lights
Leading Lights Early Intervention; Where every part of who your child is, matters.
Leading Lights has been a long-standing service that combines allied health with medical, and holistic health services to create the best possible outcomes for children with additional needs, and their families. We are constantly seeing incredible outcomes with our children and their families. We have space for full-time and part-time Therapists/ Practitioners who are willing and ready to take on a truly passion-driven role, working with children and supporting the whole team around them! Leading Lights was established to support children with diagnoses, delays or trauma, to reach developmental goals and achieve optimal health outcomes through holistic and team-oriented therapy. With our broad range of staff, some furthering their studies and constantly taking on professional development opportunities. We have a range of experience both personally and professionally.
