      <image:title>Occupational Therapy - Making Milestones</image:title>
      <image:caption>Developmental milestones track changes in babies as they learn to move, see, hear, communicate and interact with others. While children reach these milestones at their own pace, some may progress more quickly than others – even siblings in the same family can develop at different rates. There are four main types of developmental delays: + Cognitive + Sensorimotor + Speech and language (the most common) + Socio-emotional While minor, temporary delays are often no cause for concern, ongoing or multiple delays may indicate challenges that could affect learning, communication, and social interaction later in life. If you’re concerned about your child’s development, talk to your GP, paediatrician or Occupational Therapist.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Occupational Therapy - Is My Child Ready For School?</image:title>
      <image:caption>Starting school is a big transition and preparing your child for the transition to school can be daunting. As children age – and the demands on them within the school, home and social environment increase – any comparative delays and difficulties become more evident. School readiness is about more than age – it’s about having the physical, emotional, social and sensory skills needed to engage, learn and cope in a classroom environment. If your child has difficulty with attention, emotional regulation, independence, sensory processing, motor skills or social interactions, starting school can feel overwhelming. Our Occupational Therapists support children to build the core skills needed for a confident, successful transition to school.</image:caption>

      <image:title>SHOCKWAVE THERAPY - What is Shockwave Therapy?</image:title>
      <image:caption>Shockwave Therapy is non-invasive, highly-effective and relatively pain-free solution to treat pain in the feet, legs, shoulders and back. It promotes regeneration and reparative processes of the bones, tendons and other soft tissues by increasing the blood flow within the affected area, stimulating cell regeneration and healing, and decreasing local factors which can cause pain.</image:caption>

      <image:title>SHOCKWAVE THERAPY - What does treatment involve?</image:title>
      <image:caption>Treatment is performed directly on the skin, but is non-invasive. The time allotted for a specific treatment will depend on the area and depth of the tissue being treated. This will normally fall within 2-4 minutes per area treated and often used conjunction with other treatments or exercises from your practitioner. In most cases between 4-7 sessions are required in a course of therapy. Many patients also report relief after their first session.</image:caption>

      <image:title>RETAINED REFLEXES - DEVELOPMENTAL ISSUES</image:title>
      <image:caption>Retained primitive reflexes can lead to various developmental issues in children. Typically integrated into mature movements as a child grows, these automatic reflexes can interfere with developing proper motor control and coordination if they persist beyond the expected age. Poor Motor Coordination: Difficulty with activities that require fine and gross motor skills, such as writing, cutting with scissors, or participating in sports. Balance and Posture: Challenges in maintaining balance and proper posture, leading to clumsiness and frequent falls. Learning Difficulties: Struggles with reading, writing, and other academic skills due to the impact on visual tracking, eye-hand coordination, and concentration. Behavioural Issues: Increased frustration, anxiety, and behavioural problems as a result of the difficulties in performing tasks that are easy for their peers. Sensory Processing Disorders: Over-sensitivity or under-sensitivity to sensory stimuli, which can affect a child's ability to process and respond appropriately to sensory information. Delayed Developmental Milestones: Slower achievement of milestones such as crawling, walking, and talking, which can impact overall development.</image:caption>

      <image:title>RETAINED REFLEXES - SCHOOL READINESS</image:title>
      <image:caption>School readiness extends beyond age – requiring physical abilities like sitting still, paying attention, and controlling eye movements for reading, all linked to neuro-motor maturity. Children's motor development, reliant on skeletal and neuro-muscular growth along with environmental interaction, is vital for school readiness. Infants' rhythmic activities, such as kicking and twisting, help transition uncoordinated movements into coordinated motor skills with sufficient practice and exercise. These skills encompass gross motor activities like running and jumping and fine motor tasks such as feeding and writing. A growing number of children enter formal education without these crucial physical abilities, risking academic underachievement and behavioural problems. Early intervention for retained reflexes is crucial for children's development and school readiness.</image:caption>

      <image:title>RETAINED REFLEXES - Retained Reflexes Checklist</image:title>
      <image:caption>Use the following checklist to identify if your child may exhibit symptoms of retained primitive reflexes. Please note that this checklist is not meant for diagnostic purposes but serves as an assessment tool for potential retained primitive reflexes. If you have checked off half or more of the symptoms mentioned, your child may have one or more retained primitive reflexes. Consulting with an Occupational Therapist (OT) can be an important next step.</image:caption>
