For some children, help is needed in the lead up to starting school. Often Daycare or Preschool may suggest a review of your child’s skills to help with this transition.

For some children it is difficult to
plan their movements so they can do age appropriate activities of their choosing. This could include activities such as joining games at daycare/preschool, playing sport or playing at the local park. It is important that strategies are provided to help support children as they develop the skills they need to participate to their full potential.

As a child grows, it is important to help them complete activities that enable them to grow in independence. These tasks could include using cutlery at meal times, doing up zippers and buttons, getting dress or mastering toileting. Natalie can develop strategies which work towards helping children grow in independence.

For some children, learning how to work with others comes naturally, for others though, they need support to develop these social skills. Natalie works with children to help them learn how to cooperate, work with others and respond appropriately in social settings. Children also learn how to self-regulate, so that they can learn to manage how they feel, act or respond in social settings.
