Individual Session

Parents with babies may need individual sessions if their child is too young to join a group. These sessions usually last from one to one and a half hours and focus on providing support to the parents in how they can meet the needs of their young child and how they can help their child begin to learn. Parents are taught ways to continue the help in daily life at home.

Some older children may also require individual sessions if it is thought that this is the best way to introduce them to Conductive Education.

Saturday Club

The Saturday sessions are tailored to meet the needs of school age children (aged 5-11).

Children work towards age appropriate aims, preparing them for moving around in school/home, and accessing the curriculum at school as independently as they can.
Children’s daily living skills are focused on eating/drinking/dressing to make the child more independent at home and school. We also focus on building the child’s confidence and self-esteem.

Our Services

The Centre is open for 10 sessions per week. The groups are aged and ability based with sessions lasting up to two and a half-three hours.

Parent and Child service

The Smiley Steps offers an early intervention service for families and their very young children (aged birth to five years).

The Parent and Child Group aim to enable parents/family members to gain a greater understanding of how cerebral palsy affects their child and to help them to encourage their child to achieve greater independence.

Babies and children attend with their parent or carer for programmes that last for one and a half to two and a half hours. All these sessions focus on activating the child through programmes that are appropriate to the particular group and the individuals within it. Working in groups develops the young child’s social skills and provides an environment in which the parents can benefit from mutual support.

Parents continue to learn how to transfer the skills learned by them and their children into daily activities at home.
