We will be continuing to provide services from our Floreat Location and additional services from our colleagues rooms located in Nedlands.

Our goal is for each child participating to develop social and play skills and functional emotional developmental capacities in rich interactions. Each child will be supported in a way to enable him or her to feel comfortable and successful in the ebb and flow of play with peers.
The program is not structured in the sense of the therapists and support workers teaching skills, rather we facilitate each child's functional emotional development during spontaneous play. Your childs primary therapist will be in touch with you several times during the program to liaise with you and provide feedback and we encourage parents to meet with us following the program to enable us to provide detailed feedback, review goals and strategies used. We will have props available to facilitate sensory play (water, sand, movement, music), pretend play props, dress ups, arts and crafts and big motor equipment. Children should come with a change of clothes, snacks / food and a drink. Please let us know about any dietary restrictions.
