Allied Health Assistants
Our therapy assistant model
Baisie's Allied Health Assistants (AHA) work under the supervision of our Speech Pathologists and Occupational Therapists to provide individualised programs specifically designed for each client based on their personalised goals to meet therapy outcomes. The benefit of working with AHA's is that often there is capacity to provide more regular and intensive service delivery in a highly cost efficient manner.
Sessions with an AHA start with a joint session with both the Allied Health Professional (AHP) and AHA with the family to review goals and set the program. Once established the AHP and AHA meet each week to review the client program and adjust accordingly.
