Group sessions vary dependent on the child’s grade, but include Social Skills and Language groups.

Physiotherapy

Physiotherapy is an important part of the early intervention therapy toolbox. Our NDT-and MAES trained Physiotherapist works with children who have low tone, weak core muscles, poor postural control and difficulty with gross motor skills.

Our physiotherapist tailors interventions to each child’s unique needs, focusing on strengthening muscles, improving balance and coordination, and promoting motor skills development. The sessions are designed to be engaging, often incorporating play-based activities that encourage movement and fun.

Occupational Therapy

Many children with Speech and Language difficulties also present with difficulties requiring Occupational Therapy. These include: sensory integration difficulties, poor visual perceptual and visual-motor integration skills and difficulty with fine motor tasks and activities.
The Talk Shop has its own Occupational Therapy practice run by qualified OTs specialising in Sensory Integration (SI) , DIR Floortime and MAES. Children referred for Individual OT sessions will be seen either once a week, dependent on their specific requirements.

Play Therapy

Children requiring specialised schooling and intensive therapy may also present with anxiety and have difficulty coping with the demands placed on them. Play Therapy is an incredible tool to assist children in developing coping more appropriate skills and strategies to manage their behaviour and anxiety in different situations.
Our Psychologist is also available to do all the Psycho-Educational Assessments on the Grade R children to assist with school placements for the following year. Having those detailed and demanding assessments performed by a familiar person in a familiar environment assists the children in reaching their full potential on the tests.
