For children at risk of developmental delay or children who have a diagnosis of Autism or other disabilities, NDIS can fund Psychology services to support your child.  

HYM psychologists are qualified to see NDIS Participants under 'THERAPEUTIC SUPPORTS' (for ages 7+).  

For children funded under other categories (eg, Early Childhood Supports), HYM can see your child if you are plan managed or self managed only.
