Helping children learn, communicate, participate & thrive.

We turn learning and developmental struggles into structured, measurable progress, for children, families and schools.

Children learning and playing together with support
Who we are

Every child deserves more than a label. They deserve a way forward.

Heyday Educational Consult helps children with additional needs make meaningful progress through thoughtful assessment, practical intervention and support that connects home and school.

We work alongside families, educators and professionals to turn questions about a child's development into clear, workable next steps.

  • Child-centred, evidence-informed support
  • Practical plans for home, school and everyday life
  • Progress built together with families and educators

Heyday Sensory Salon

Making personal care a more comfortable experience

Heyday Sensory Salon is a specialised initiative designed to support children who experience difficulty with grooming and personal-care routines.

For some children, activities such as hair care, grooming and sitting for personal-care routines can be overwhelming because of sensory sensitivities, communication difficulties, anxiety, regulation challenges or difficulty tolerating the process. The Sensory Salon takes a therapeutic, child-centred approach to helping children gradually build tolerance and confidence around personal care.

We May Support
  • Hair-care tolerance
  • Sitting tolerance
  • Sensory regulation during grooming
  • Communication and choice-making
  • Reducing distress around personal-care routines
  • Gradual exposure and tolerance-building
  • Positive grooming experiences

In Their Own Words

Voices from classrooms and households

We had been getting the same vague feedback from school for a year. The assessment finally gave us a clear picture of what was actually going on, and a plan we could follow.

Heyday worked with our teachers directly instead of just handing us a report. The strategies were things we could genuinely use in the classroom the same week.
