During the preschool period, when a child is developing his motor and mobility skills, it is crucial to provide adequate support. Our services include a detailed assessment of the child's development and diagnosis of movement and large motor disorders, including 3D motion analysis, which allows us to accurately understand and monitor the child's development. We not only observe the structure and function of individual components of the musculoskeletal system, but also collaborate with other specialists to expand diagnosis and provide comprehensive care. Collaboration within the medical team allows us to refer the child to additional specialists whose support he or she needs.

Our therapies are goal-oriented, which means tailoring work methods to the individual needs of the child. We help achieve proper development through proper positioning, adjusting environmental conditions and assisting in the selection of equipment that ensures the child's functionality and independence. Our activities are designed to promote the child's motor skills, functions and social participation, which contributes to his or her all-round development.

At the preschool age, the development of fine motor and hand function is crucial to achieving independence and efficiency in daily life. Our services include a comprehensive functional examination that analyzes the child's range of motion, muscle strength, coordination, sensation and posture. We also evaluate the hand's grasp function and manipulative abilities, allowing us to fine-tune therapy to meet the individual needs of the toddler.

Activities of Daily Living (ADL) skills training is an integral part of therapy, helping the child learn skills such as dressing and using everyday objects. We customize toys and specialized equipment, such as orthoses, among others, to match the child's motor capabilities and support his or her development. We provide emotional and motivational support, building the child's sense of agency through play and learning new skills.

We work with parents to set therapy goals, monitor progress and adjust the therapy plan, as well as with doctors, physiotherapists, occupational therapists and speech therapists to provide comprehensive care and optimal support for the child's development.

Our support includes a comprehensive functional vision assessment that analyzes both basic visual parameters, such as visual acuity and depth perception, and age-appropriate visual-motor skills.

Stimulating a child's visual functioning is a key component of our therapy. We select appropriate toys and presentation methods, and adapt the environment to the toddler's visual needs. We also support the learning of movement of visually impaired children through techniques and exercises tailored to their individual needs. We offer individualized optical and non-optical aids that can facilitate daily functioning.

We work with other therapists, including an AAC therapist, to ensure that communication materials are adapted to the child's visual abilities. We also provide guidance on adapting educational materials and the environment, allowing the child to be better prepared for school, ensuring optimal conditions for his visual development.
