| Recipient Org: Description | Playskill provides access to free early intervention services and support for children with disabilities and their families in Hertfordshire, enabling children to develop their physical and communication skills, to give them the best start in life and building family resilience. Our main service/activities are: 1. Providing free specialist parent and child pre-school skills-development groups for children (aged 1-5) with physical disabilities or developmental delay, with expert support from a Paediatric Physiotherapist, Occupational Therapist and Speech and Language Therapist. Using play as a tool for development, each child is encouraged to participate in a range of assessed activities designed to develop fundamental life skills eg, learning to stand, self-feed, communicate and walk. 2. Specialist support and training for parents/carers who often report high levels of stress/isolation –training sessions, peer-support, advice/assistance from a dedicated Parent Support Team. 3. Essential respite-giving and family bonding social activities and outings for the whole family. 4. Remote assessment and advice for new referrals (Springboard project) providing therapy input and support at the earliest possible opportunity. Playskill is the only group of its kind in Hertfordshire, providing skills development to children with physical disabilities together with emotional, social and practical support for the families concerned. |
