Children are unique and their development is influenced by the combination of their own determinants and environmental factors. It is important to understand a child’s individual profile and the environment that he/she is experiencing. With these understandings, a holistic plan can be put in place to help a child and their family reach their goals.

Child development is closely tied in with brain development. The first 5 years of life are most crucial in child development. Based on sound knowledge of neuroscience (study of the brain and the nervous system), it is important to provide opportunities and practices that enhance brain development and its activities which in-turn facilitate child development.

The physical body is the means to perform functional tasks such as mobility, self-care and learning. Physiotherapy can help to alleviate the limiting factors and aim at attaining a functional body.

A well renowned proposition of ‘Emotion’ acts like a conductor in the orchestra of the body (Dr Stanley Greenspan). The mind influences the physical body. Therefore, acknowledging and building a child’s emotional well-being is paramount in the success of intervention.
