Mighty Kids is a functional, activities-based intensive intervention approach designed specifically for children with disability.  

The program provides 1:1 intensive practice with a therapist, who will adapt and change tasks specifically to each child, to enable long-lasting individual improvements. This constant variable nature of practice enables each child’s skills to be achieved not only in a therapy setting, but also at home, school, or in the community. 

What’s included?

We work with each child and their family to identify key goals around fine or gross motor skills development. Goals may include:

  • Fine motor skills such as dressing, tying shoelaces, cutting or drawing
  • Improvement in the speed and legibility of handwriting
  • Stability and balance in sitting, jumping and hopping skills
  • Stability and balance in walking, running or riding a bike
  • Using a knife, fork, spoon during meals
  • Typing skills and speed of typing
Who’s the program suitable for?

Participants:

  • Ages 5-16 years
  • Attending mainstream school
  • Able to follow 2 step instructions at a minimum, attend for 20 mins within group setting
  • With fine motor or gross motor goals
