Taking part

Taking part with your child - Courses and Booking

Individual families or in a group....

The activities are enjoyable physical movements and physical games and hands-on techniques. They involve child and parent together. Parents are encouraged to email or phone if they have any concerns or questions. The course encompasses the well-being of the whole child and supports the difficult role of a parent!

The cost

One-to -one sessions can be paid for separately  or within a package. Choosing a package is more economical. Group sessions are a fixed package cost. Contact us for details.

The major cost is the neuro-developmental assessment  which will be the basis for the planning of the programme. 

Initial consultation

If you wish to have an initial consultation to discuss the needs of your child and a brief assessment, this can be booked separately. If you decide to go ahead with the programme, there will be no charge for this initial session.

Lots of Fun

Both options are lots of fun. However there are more opportunities for the children to develop social skills in the group sessions. Parents also value the support they gain from each other. 

In both cases the parental practice at home is an important aspect.
