Intensive blocks of treatment can provide a powerful boost to a child’s progress, and are a powerful platform for parents to gain skills to assist their children in everyday life. Research suggests that intensive therapy provides greater opportunity for summative gains in sensory, motor and social emotional performance. Providing occupational therapy in an intensive manner promotes a cumulative effect, where children and caregivers are able to practice and build on strengthening skills obtained in previous sessions.
Many of our families utilise treatment intensives at MoveAbout to get a boost at the start of a therapy program or if progress begins to plateau. While we have an extensive weekly therapy waiting list, we can often get families in for a treatment intensives more quickly.
Treatment intensives with MoveAbout Therapy Services include 5-day and 10-day blocks. MoveAbout Therapy Services provides intensive therapy options to families living locally or visiting from within Australia or overseas.
