STEPS by MightyKids Rehab

Children in New Zealand have limited access to community therapy services and these services are often delivered in isolation from the child’s participation in Early Learning programmes. Parents report concern around not knowing how best to support their child and can enter the schooling years without a good understanding of their child’s needs. We have therefore developed STEPS (Specialised Therapy Enriched Play Sessions) utilising a model of integrated therapy for preschool children (1-5 years) with physical disabilities. Through the provision of this programme, we strive to assist families become better equipped to support and advocate for their child throughout their schooling.

The principles of New Zealand’s Early Childhood Curriculum, Te Whariki, reflect the goals of the proposed integrated therapy and early learning programme. Based on the Te Whariki framework, we provide a therapy rich programme that meet’s both learning and therapy needs for children with physical disabilities.
