Our Intensive Programs

Focusing on a range of different outcomes, are a multi-day, concentrated approach to therapy.

What's an intensive?

An intensive is a focused, time-limited therapy program. Designed to support specific goals through a structured and tailored approach, it’s offered over a shorter period like days or weeks rather than months. Intensives typically include more frequent and longer sessions, often several times a week or daily.

The aim is to achieve meaningful progress in a short timeframe, using engaging, skill-based activities. Intensives can be particularly helpful for those with greater needs or those needing more urgent intervention.

Warriors Holiday Intensive

We’re excited to introduce something new for the school holidays.

The Warriors Holiday Intensive is the heart of the Harrietville experience, re-imagined as a day-based holiday program in Yarrawonga. Designed for boys and girls aged 6–17, this program brings together structure, teamwork, time in nature and experienced support to help children feel confident, connected and included.

Clinic-Based Intensives

BOOKINGS OPEN

Our clinic-based intensives provide space and time for comprehensive assessment and targeted work on an individuals’ goals.

Ideal for those travelling a long way for services (but open to all), we comprehensively focus a range of skills over a period of days or weeks. Local accommodation can be arranged.

Young Adult Intensives

EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST WELCOME

Designed for young adults aged 16 to 25 we have a number of programs focused around building independent daily living skills.

Bike Riding Intensives

EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST WELCOME

Learning to ride a bike can be tough and for some children, it doesn’t happen easily the first time around. Our Learn to Ride program provides small group or 1:1 support to help children gain confidence and master this important milestone.

Swimming Intensives

EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST WELCOME

Swimming is an essential life skill, but not every child thrives in a group lesson. Our 1:1 swimming sessions (with the option for 1:2 for siblings or family members) are designed for children who need a little extra support in the water

Speech Intensives

SCHOOL HOLIDAY PROGRAMS

School holidays offer a unique opportunity to step out of the usual routine and gently focus on building your child’s communication skills.

Our 4-Day Speech Intensives are designed to make the most of this time — providing a short, focused block of support that helps children build confidence, develop skills, and experience meaningful progress.

By working together across consecutive days, we’re able to create momentum in a way that often isn’t possible within weekly sessions. With the right support, repetition, and environment, children can begin to feel more capable, more confident, and more willing to give things a go.

Each intensive is individually tailored to your child’s goals, whether that includes:

  • speech sound development (clarity and pronunciation)

  • expressive and receptive language

  • social communication skills

  • confidence when speaking and interacting
