PHYSIOTHERAPIST-LED SERVICES FOR EARLY LEARNING CENTRES
Support movement development without adding more to your workload.
Every day, your educators help children discover what they're capable of. But knowing how to support different movement needs, make the most of your environment and choose the right activities isn't always easy.

Understanding movement. Inspiring better practice.
Our interactive, physiotherapist-led workshop explores the science of children's movement development and how educators can apply that knowledge in everyday learning environments.
01 — Understanding development
Explore primitive reflexes, their role in early development, and what current research does—and doesn't—tell us about their assessment and treatment.
02 — The science of motor learning
Understand how children acquire movement skills, including the influence of practice, feedback, motivation and the learning environment.
03 — Putting knowledge into practice
Apply motor learning principles, including insights from OPTIMAL theory, to practical activities, real-world examples and everyday educator decisions.
