Conference therapy program
What is it?
This program is all about fun and play to spark curiosity, create joy and foster engagement run by the dynamic Kaya Lyons and her team from Active OT for Kids. The goal is to provide a quality program of care that supports the unique sensory needs of our children with CHARGE syndrome.
Kaya will set up a meeting with parents/participants to chat about their special care requirements, prior to the conference.
Who is it for?
For individuals with CHARGE syndrome (any age) who have low to high support needs, and for young siblings (0-5 years).
Sample program
The program will run on both Saturday and Sunday. Here is what the day might look like. Details to be confirmed.
Two 10 years old girls sit on the flow with a lady. They are creating a candle stand out of small branches.
Three 5 year old children sitting on a blue mat around white paint. One of the children have their hands immersed in the paint, a full sensory experience.
Four children and two facilitators are sitting on the ground outdoors, amongst dried gum leaves. They each have their hands in a bowl of plaster.
How much does it cost?
$1100 - $1350
