Is my child shy or is it a sign of autism?
Watching your child grow and develop is a rewarding, remarkable experience. Yet it can be fraught with anxiety. How do you know if your child is reaching all the right milestones? When should you get a cute quirk in their behaviour looked at?
The actions perpetrated against Lee-Anne were abhorrent
The past acts of assault towards Scope client Lee-Anne Mackey are distressing and unacceptable. Scope has apologised to the Mackey family for the gross mistreatment Lee-Anne has endured. We continue to engage Lee-Anne and her family and work with them to identify ways to improve her care.
