Movement and Co-ordination Group

GGSC is a private company, who only hire professional and reliable therapists. We offer a range of groups. One of which being the Movement Improvement group.

Common difficulties appropriate for a movement group:

Clumsy
Un-coordinated
Difficulty balancing
Difficulty running, hopping, jumping and skipping
Finds floor based activities difficult
Poor hand eye co-ordination
Poor visual perception
Difficulty perceiving the flight of objects
Difficulty catching and throwing

The movement group is designed for children who are having difficulty producing fluent and accurate gross motor movements resulting in children having difficulty producing smooth movements of the upper and lower body and typically find it difficult to partake in P.E and sport.

Goals of a Movement and Concentration group

The two main aims of the movement improvement group are:

Improve gross motor skills, focusing on two common aspects such as balance and co-ordination
Improve visual perception and motor planning skills

The occupational therapists would work together with the children in completing activities that promote the skills needed to produce fluent accurate movements. Examples activities include, balance beams, target throwing games, obstacle courses and relay races, and ball based games. An outcome measurement tool would be administered at the beginning to provide a benchmark for future sessions and at the end to show any changes.

Benefits of group therapy:

Build social skills
Tailored functional improvements for each group
Realise your child may not be the only one experiencing these difficulties
Talk to other parents with similar concerns
Discuss any concerns or issues you may have with therapist
Reduced rate per hour compared to 1:1 therapy

Following the group, you will receive a report, containing an outline of how the group has been, a summary of your child's skills in relation to the activities completed in the group and any recommendations regarding regular therapy or equipment.

If you think your child is having any of the difficulties outlined above, and would like to be considered for a group then please contact us email us or call us on +253 796634253
