- Kid’s Work/School Skills: Concerns with scissor skills, writing, attention, reading, following instructions, following routines, gross and fine motor skills- Play: Difficulties with social skills, pretend play, understanding emotions, sharing or turn taking
Steps involved when your child is referred to My Child Therapy:
Comprehensive Assessment:
An assessment is completed for each child at My Child Therapy. This is tailored to suit specific concerns raised by the teacher and/or parent
Therapy:
1) Individualised therapy
Tailored therapy programs which target key areas of concerns for each individual child. Therapy includes detailed written report of goals and strategies that will assist your child.
2) Group sessions
Group sessions focus on developing children's handwriting and fine motor skills. We work closely with schools and teachers to ensure sessions are educationally relevant. At My Child Therapy we not only focus on developing the motor aspects of handwriting but also work on boosting the children's planning of writing tasks.
