About Our Programs
Our January programs help children consolidate their skills and build confidence for the new school year. The sessions are fun, structured, and neuroaffirming — celebrating every child’s unique strengths, interests, and ways of engaging with the world.
Each session is collaboratively facilitated by at least two therapists — Occupational Therapists and Speech Pathologists — ensuring a holistic, evidence-based, and respectful approach to each child’s developmental journey. All sessions take place in our purpose-built therapy gym and therapy rooms.
