In 2005 Children’s Partnership was started with the belief that every child should be given the opportunity to achieve their fullest potential. The goal was to support the development of each child so that they could lead meaningful quality lives. Every child is an individual with their own interest, learning styles and unique skills. With that in mind, intervention plans should be tailored to meet the needs of each child and their family, rather than having the child fit into a pre-planned programme. 

Their aim is to create partnerships with parents, caregivers, teachers and significant others in a child’s life to facilitate their development. They have a team of dedicated and passionate psychologists working with children and youths who may be experiencing various learning, social and/or emotional challenges. 

Children's Partnership uses a neurodevelopmental approach to working with children and youths, in particular, the RDI® programme. We guide families on how to manage the challenges their children face, such as behaviour concerns, interaction with others, perspective taking, dynamic thinking and regulation.

Connect with Children's Partnership on their website, Instagram, Facebook and Youtube.

Genevieve Chua

As the senior psychologist and head of the intervention team, Genevieve has been privileged to guide families to support the development of their children. It has also been a pleasure to supervise RDI® Consultants in Training from different parts of the world.

Genevieve graduated from Murdoch University with a degree in Psychology. She worked in a special school, where she got to learn about the gifts of each child she taught as she guided them through dance, swimming and job placements, in addition to the day to day academics. During this time, Genevieve earned a master’s degree in Applied Psychology and started a new phase in my work life where she was involved in the assessment and diagnosis of children at a local hospital. In my time there, she received training in various intervention programmes (PECS, Structured Teaching, MISC approach) and helped to initiate various intervention programmes. The desire to continue to find ways to improve the lives of children led to my becoming an RDI® Program Certified Consultant.

The area of neurodevelopment is a keen interest of mine. Genevieve has received training in various approaches (Sensory Enrichment Therapy, HANDLE, Rhythmic Movement Training, Play-based treatment of trauma).”
