Did you know?
- Intensive therapy accelerates improvements in gross motor skills in a short time period resulting in long lasting results.
- During the preschool years (ages 3 through 5) a child learns various new gross motor skills which are vital for playing with their peers and building self-esteem.
- Children who have already developed strong gross motor skills but just need to stabilise or perfect a skill often benefit most from intensive therapy.
- Between the ages 6 -12 years children fine tune and perfect their gross motor skills. This is a key time to work on strengthening and improving skills obtained in early childhood.
