Paediatric Services
We provide play-based therapy that is both enjoyable and stimulating for children. Our approach is designed to make therapy fun and engaging, encouraging children to actively participate while developing the essential skills they need to thrive in everyday life.
A variety of key developmental areas that we worked on are:
Building Fine and Gross Motor Coordination and Strength: Through targeted activities, we help children enhance their fine and gross motor skills, which are crucial for daily tasks such as writing, playing sports, and eating. This improvement enables them to participate more confidently in both school and recreational settings.
Enhancing Sensory Processing Abilities: Our therapy supports children in processing sensory information more effectively, making daily routines like dressing, brushing teeth, and classroom activities more manageable and less overwhelming.
Promoting Independence in Self-Care: For children with developmental delays, we focus on developing self-care skills such as bathing, dressing, feeding, and toileting, fostering greater independence and self-confidence in their daily lives.
Strengthening Cognitive Skills: We provide strategies and exercises that enhance cognitive functions like attention, memory, and fine motor coordination, which are essential for academic tasks such as writing, cutting, and problem-solving.
Emotional Regulation and Coping Skills: By teaching effective coping mechanisms, we help children manage their emotions, reduce anxiety, and navigate social interactions with greater ease and resilience.
At Little Penguinx, our holistic, child-centered approach ensures that therapy is not only effective but also meaningful. We aim to empower every child to reach their full potential by combining professional expertise with playful, engaging activities that support comprehensive development.
Adult Services
At Little Penguinx, we provide comprehensive Functional Capacity Assessments to help individuals understand their abilities, challenges, and the support they need to achieve their goals. Our FCA services are designed to support clients in navigating the NDIS by providing detailed, evidence-based reports that accurately reflect their functional capacity and required supports, which may also be used for justification and evidence to support funding requests for specific services or supports under the NDIS.
