INTENSIVES

Practice Makes Progress!

Regular practice and application of new skills is the key to progress in therapy.  However, trying to implement strategies and home programs outside of therapy can be challenging amongst your busy lives; but without it, your child's progress towards goals may be lagging behind.  Your solution could be an intensive burst of therapy to fast track your child's progress and take pressure off you at home!

Why Intensive Therapy?

Your therapeutic journey is all about making a positive difference in your child's and your family's lives.  This includes making positive changes to your child's physical, mental and emotional behaviours.  According to research, it can take anywhere between 2 weeks to 9 months to establish new habits and create positive behaviour change.  Intensives fast track the process so they can overcome their occupational barriers and make progress towards their individual goals more quickly than with just a single weekly or fortnightly session.

Who is Suitable for Intensives?

Our therapists provide individualised intensives for many different types of challenges and occupational barriers.  Some interventions may include (but are not limited to):
- Prep and School Readiness
- Handwriting Difficulties
- Motor Planning and Coordination Challenges
- Transitioning Between Year Levels
- Swimming / Aquatic Therapy
- And many more!

How and When Do Intensives Run?

- During School Holidays

- During School Term

​

Individual Intensives run all year round though can be tricky to navigate during the school term if your child is of school-age.  But have no fear - holidays are here! Are you too busy to come to therapy during the term time? Why not consider your child's therapy into a shorter time frame in the school holidays!
