Treatment programs can be quite varied. Kidability generally provides a home and school programs following all assessments. These programs consist of a handout of fun activities and games to implement with your child at home or school. The school program comes with classroom strategies to assist the student. These recommended ideas/ activities/ games and prescribed to address areas of weakness for example if a child has a problem with being able to sit in their chair at school and perform writing tasks, then they may have weaknesses with their balance and postural control thus a home program idea might be to engage your child in balance tasks such as using an exercise ball or purchase and play a game such as twister. A shool program idea could be a classroom strategy of allowing the child to have break tasks and after 20 minutes allow the student to get up out of their chair by making them a teacher helper and hand required work for example. OT treatment programs can be direct therapy sessions either at our office or at some schools on the gold coast. These therapy sessions are either a 30, 45 or 60 minutes duration depending upon the age and ? of the child. These direct sessions consist of fun warm up games which usually have a motor component. For example a ball and target game. Then the main section of therapy may be directed towards the functional tasks of writing, reading or spelling skills. All children are rewarded according to their parents or guardian wishes and generally children find sessions fun and rewarding.
