How can the whole family help?

What is unique about the Active therapy programme is that it involves the child, siblings, parents and, where appropriate other professionals, such as physiotherapists, occupational therapists, social workers and teachers. All agencies have access to the Active therapy session at all times, through observation, participation or consultation, thus ensuring that the programme is complementary to all other aspects of the child’s development.
