Each group brings participants together to help build a strong network of education, support, and care for families/caregivers to meet children’s long-term needs.
Multidisciplinary groups support:
- Clients looking to identify personal goals and receive targeted support to achieve them from both a physiotherapy and occupational therapy approach, in unison.
