Yes, carers, grandparents, support worker are able to bring your child and feel included in their therapy program. Often times it can be advantageous for them to bring your child at least once to see what we are working on in the session and how they can implement these strategies and techniques into their time with your child. Remember it takes a village.

Yes, you as a parent will need to be present and attend to their needs so as not to distract the ongoing therapy session.
If it appears that your child is not able to participate well in therapy when a sibling is present (ie. gets embarrassed, feels self conscious, becomes easily distracted or overwhelmed) we can discuss options to best manage the outcomes for all involved.

Yes, intensive physical therapy programs can be modified and tailored to suit your child’s specific needs. The goal of intensive programs is to provide highly individualised and comprehensive rehabilitation, taking into account the unique challenges and abilities of each child.

Here are some ways in which an intensive program can be modified to suit your child’s needs:

1. Treatment Goals: The therapy team will work closely with you to identify specific goals for your child’s therapy. These goals may include improving mobility, increasing strength, enhancing coordination, or achieving functional milestones. The program can be customised to focus on the areas that require the most attention for your child’s optimal development.

2. Duration and Frequency: The duration and frequency of the intensive program can be adjusted based on your child’s tolerance and progress. Some children may benefit from shorter, more frequent sessions, while others may thrive with longer sessions spaced further apart. The therapy team will assess your child’s response to therapy and make appropriate modifications to ensure it remains effective and manageable. Generally programs are 3 hours a day, 5 days a week for 3 weeks in duration

3. Therapeutic Techniques and Modalities: Different therapeutic techniques and modalities can be incorporated into the intensive program based on your child’s needs. These may include manual therapy, assistive devices, adaptive equipment, therapeutic exercises, functional activities, aquatic therapy, or sensory integration techniques. The therapy team will determine which approaches are most beneficial for your child’s specific condition and adapt the program accordingly.

4. Collaborative Approach: Intensive programs often involve a multidisciplinary team of healthcare professionals. This collaboration allows for a holistic approach to your child’s care. Depending on your child’s needs, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, exercise physiologists and other specialists can be involved in the program, ensuring comprehensive support and addressing various aspects of your child’s development.

5. Parent/Caregiver Involvement: Intensive programs offer an opportunity for parents and caregivers to actively participate in their child’s therapy. The therapy team can provide training and guidance on exercises, activities, and techniques that can be continued at home. This involvement promotes continuity of care and ongoing progress even after the intensive program concludes.
