Conditions treated

Childhood is an amazing period of rapid learning and growing.  Sensory and motor systems are being integrated and fine-tuned, and skills are being built upon to become more and more complex.

The brain and body are being 'shaped' during these early years, and things that happen can stay with a child for a lifetime.  It is thus an opportune time for therapy input to make big and lasting changes.

As a parent you are in an opportune position to observe your child's growth and development. It is natural to have concerns at some stage, but if they persist, your child relies on you to convey those concerns to a professional who can help. 

Although it is never too late to start therapy, early intervention is proactive in helping prevent a small probem from becoming a large one.
