New to BLENNZ

The team at BLENNZ work closely with a range of medication practitioners around New Zealand to support children from birth to 21 years of age. We have a number of medical staff working with our National Assessment Service (NAS) to provide families and teaching teams with accurate, up-to-date information to support educational planning and school placement. The medical practitioners within our NAS team include an ophthalmologist, an optometrist, a speech language therapist and a paediatrician.
