Who We Support

children

We support children from up to 12 years of age with their developmental milestones. Sometimes children and their families face additional challenges during these years and require assistance to continue developing and reach their potential.

At Advance Therapy we support parents and families with all the common concerns they may face relating to their child’s development. Our approach to therapy for early intervention is built around the key areas of human development, from communication to handwriting, from social skills to walking. Our therapists can work with you and your family to identify underlying areas of concern and implement practical therapy to address the movement and communication deficits.

As parents, we are always closely assessing the development of our children.

Have you had concerns with your child’s ability to:

  • Understand or express themselves at an appropriate level for their age

  • Play with siblings, friends or peers

  • Perform age-appropriate activities of daily living such as dressing, toileting, feeding or grooming

  • Regulate their emotions and express age-appropriate awareness to situations

  • Crawl, stand or walk appropriately for their age

  • Combine movements like jumping and running into active play or games

Our therapists can work with you and your family to identify underlying areas of concern and implement practical therapy to address the movement and communication deficits.

physiotherapy

Our qualified physiotherapists at Advance Therapy provide physical exercise and motor skills training to improve functional independence and activities of daily living.
