Meet Maisie
Maisie was born by emergency C-section. The blood flow between Maisie and her mother’s placenta had reversed and she was born with very little blood in her body. She needed to be resuscitated and had a number of seizures.
Our therapists work with you to share ideas and strategies, adapting activities and building your confidence to recognise when your baby or toddler is finding them too much or not enough. This enables frequent, natural opportunities during your week without feeling forced.
Using toys, songs, games, and books through play increases your baby or toddler’s understanding of cause and effect, problem solving, movement and communication.
Daily routines like meal time and bath time help them explore movement and discover new sensory experiences using activities that naturally bring their attention to their hands.
Following your baby or toddler’s lead – what are they doing? What are they curious about? Using back and forth interactions, give them time to respond and celebrate their achievements.
Identifying whether some simple equipment or an adaptation to things your baby or toddler already uses can enable access to other activities and opportunities.
The care your baby or toddler receives will be unique to them. Therapies we provide to babies and toddlers include:
