Movement Therapy for Children with Special Needs
At Willow Creek Special Educational Needs, we understand that every child is unique, and we believe in creating an environment where they can thrive. That’s why we’re excited to introduce our movement therapy for children with special needs program, “Move to Grow.” This engaging program, hosted by Code Life Medical Emergency Response Services, is designed to support children from birth to 18 years, focusing on their cognitive, emotional, social, and physical development.
Why Movement Therapy?
Movement therapy is more than just physical activity; it’s a pathway to enhancing motor skills and fostering self-confidence. Our program is tailored for children with various disabilities and aims to create a supportive, joyful atmosphere where learning through movement becomes an adventure.
What to Expect: Program Goals
Woodwork projects offer students the chance to unleash their creativity and hone their problem-solving skills. From building birdhouses to crafting wooden sculptures, students learn the value of precision, patience, and perseverance.
1. Enhance Motor Skills
Through guided movement and play, your child will develop strength and flexibility.
2. Promote Cognitive Development
Activities are designed to stimulate brain development and improve focus.
3. Encourage Social Interaction
The group activities help children build friendships and learn teamwork.
4. Boost Emotional Well-being
Movement helps reduce stress and promotes self-expression.
5. Increase Physical Fitness
We make exercise fun, ensuring kids stay active and healthy.
How It Works
1. Assessment and Customisation
Every child undergoes an initial assessment to tailor the program to their needs.
2. Therapy Sessions
Regular sessions focus on individual and group activities that promote engagement and skill development.
3. Group Activities
These encourage socialisation and help children learn from each other.
4. Progress Monitoring
We continuously track each child’s development to ensure they are reaching their goals.
