Our approach
Because it matters to your child's care.
Your therapy options
Of course, we will assess your child for their unique needs, and offer an individualised therapy plan in line with your family’s situation.
But here is an overview of the therapy options we could offer.
Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy (CIMT)
If your child has a weaker or lesser-used arm or hand, CIMT is often recommended.
​
What is CIMT exactly? While the dominant arm or hand rests comfortably in a lightweight mitt or cast, we give the assisting (weaker arm) or hand the opportunity to develop through specific motor-learning opportunities.
Highly effective with strong evidence for improving a child's assiting (affected) hand to increase movement repertoire.
​
Flexible approach to make sure you can continue at home as well as in-clinic.
​
Recommended for children with hemiplegia (childhood stroke), cerebral palsy and or obstetric brachial plexus injury (injury through birth)
​

Bimanual Intensive Therapy (BIMT)
BIMT is all about helping your child use two hands to complete everyday tasks - from pouring milk onto their cereal to opening a door.
Different from CIMT, both upper limbs are encouraged to work together in specific two handed actions and interplays. These two handed interpalys are what we need to perfrom specific to handed daily actions, and we encourage this through the use of specially chosen toys, games and activities. and specific daily actions.
Research proves that consistent practice leads to your child’s bimanual motor skills improving.
Flexible approach to make sure you can continue at home as well as in-clinic.
Recommended for children with hemiplegia (childhood stroke) and cerebral palsy and other central and peripheral neurological conditions.

Early intervention
Early Intervention Therapy
We understand that getting the right support for your child — as early as possible — is the key to maximising their joy in everyday life.
If your baby has had a difficult start to life, early intervention therapy can help them overcome challenges and find their strength.
From dressing, teeth cleaning, and self-care to fostering emotional regulation, we build your baby or child’s confidence through movement, play, and everyday activities.
Flexible approach to make sure you can continue at-home as well as in-clinic.
Recommended for babies born prematurely, diagnosed with a medical condition or when you simply suspect developmental challenges (you do not need a diagnosis).
Early intervention aims to start promptly to help your child maximise their enjoyment of life.

Handwriting
If your child is struggling with handwriting, we give them the targeted support they need to find their strength,
There is more involved with handwriting than you may first think. That‘s why we support your child with motor skills - such as holding a pencil and stabilising muscle groups - but also language comprehension and visual perception.

Handwriting challenges commonly affect children living with cerebral palsy, childhood stroke, spina bifida, brain injuries
Can also affect children living with dyslexia and dysphagia - but you do not need a diagnosis to seek support.
