NEED A FUNDED SERVICE?
I can recommend Mark Tatti of Core Connections.
Mark is a Melbourne based mental health social worker and family therapist with 15 years experience in counselling. He is autism aware and autism friendly, holistic and empathic in his approach. His fees are affordable and a Medicare rebate is available if you get a GP referral under the "Enhanced Primary Care Plan" or "Better Access to Mental Health Care" initiatives. Mark can see:
- Families supporting children, teens and adults on the autism spectrum
- Direct support and social/occupational planning for teens and adults with Aspergers.
- Couples where one or both partners are on the spectrum.
- Adults without formal diagnosis on the spectrum who feel affected by related issues.
WHO AM I SEEING?
Due to having primary immune deficiencies I'm presently unable to see children in face to face consultations.
However, I can still take bookings to see:
- Parents (and you can certainly bring along footage, reports etc).
- Professionals and students working with autism and PDD who are looking for training in alternative or holistic approaches.
As a teacher, I am not covered by Medicare rebates but can provide a tax invoice.
My rates:
- $80 for an hour's consulting with families or private PD work (in Upwey)
- $150 for an hour's consulting with families or private PD work (in Melbourne and some parts of regional Vic).
- $80 for a full written report (optional)
- $225 per client for support agencies and schools (this includes 2-3 hrs observation/discussion time in residential, day placement, occupational or education settings plus full written report and travel costs)
- Otherwise I'm available for online consultations from $50-$60 per hour
Please feel free to email me about availability.
