A parent led, specialist supported program designed to provide knowledge, confidence and individualised guidance for a number of weeks at home upper limb therapy treatment block, tailored to your child with hemiplegia.

This service runs as either Baby Beginnings (for children under 18 months) or Reaching Milestones (for those over 18 months) allowing us to tailor the therapy in an age-appropriate way.

Service Description

Early intervention is critical to maximising neuroplasticity and laying the foundation for future developmental success. 

This program supports parents of children who show a preference for one upper limb or have been diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy by providing:

• A structured, evidence based approach combining CIMT and Bimanual Therapy.
• Tools, resources and expert guidance to deliver therapy confidently at home.
• A supportive journey where you’ll feel guided and empowered at every step.
  

We are here to walk this journey with you, ensuring you always feel confident, capable and supported as you help your child achieve their full potential.
