Fiddly Fun Group (Fridays) - 2-4 years
Fridays 11am-12pm starting week 2 of Term 3 (31st July)
Programme Description
Join our Fiddly Fun Group for children aged 2-4 where parents and children come together to develop essential skills in a supportive, semi-structured environment. Led by experienced Senior OT Natalie Lea, this program offers a variety of activities focused on developing fine and gross motor skills, as well as visual-motor skills through engaging tasks like drawing, language skills, social interaction, attention and participating in a small group - eg following instructions, imitating actions, and joining in. These groups are not charged at regular therapy rates as the parents are the therapists! Natalie and our therapy assistants (Jess or Tash) will start and finish the group with 'Circle time' and then move between activity stations to support parents and children to participate in the activities. This provides a cost effective way for parents to access therapy support and guidance, as well as to share and learn with other parents. Most of the information below applies to our other groups, but not this group. Fiddly Fun is a term commitment and costs $450 for the term (ie $45/session, Medicare and Health Fund rebates are applicable as the service is provided by an OT). We do require the $100 deposit and this is credited to your first sessions. INFORMATION BELOW is not applicable to FIDDLY FUN
Some of the important information...
If your child is new to us at Skillbuilders? In this case we need as much information as you can send us please to ensure our therapists can provide the most targeted service. Please forward any therapy reports, school reports, doctor reports, etc when you book to Penny@skillbuilders.com.au. From here we can contact you to arrange a 'Meet'n'Greet' session if needed. These sessions are to help your child feel more comfortable with one of the therapists prior to the group, and also to ensure any assessment information gaps are addressed. Sometimes we may feel an alternative programme would better suit your child, in which case we can discuss this and make an alternative plan. We will always refund the $100 deposit if we can't offer the best option for your child. Deposits: We request a $100 deposit to confirm your child's place in any of our small group programmes. On the first day of the programme this amount is either credited to the full programme fee for non-funded families, or refunded directly to families who have funding through NDIS. Fees: All groups are charged at the regular NDIS therapy rates. Fees vary and are determined by the duration of the sessions (eg 60 or 90 minutes), the number of sessions in the programme, the number of children in the group, and the number of therapists required. Fees include time for preparation, pack-away and notes. We generally have a ratio of 1 therapist to 2 children. Fees are discounted for non-funded families. Please contact us to discuss this. Service Agreements: A signed service agreement is always required to confirm your child's place. We will send this and your child's place is confirmed once this has been completed. Group Reports: We routinely provide reports for all term programmes and school holiday groups that are 8+ sessions. Reports are provided for shorter programmes (eg 4 sessions) on parent request. The fees are as per NDIS therapy rates with discounts available for non-funded families. Cancellations: Our programmes are full programmes and credits are not available. If your child is unable to attend a session for any reason the therapists will provide you with relevant resources to practice the group content at home (where appropriate).
