Supporting Classroom Participation and Daily Tasks
Children and young adults in Greenbank often face difficulties in the classroom due to underdeveloped visual motor skills. Copying from the whiteboard, completing worksheets, or even just drawing can become a source of frustration. Our therapists work to build foundational skills, such as visual perception, spatial awareness, and fine motor control, which are essential for academic success and independence.
Our approach often involves fun and engaging activities that don’t feel like “therapy.” We might use games, puzzles, and creative exercises to improve visual tracking, copying skills, and overall eye-hand coordination.
- Initial Assessment: We start with a comprehensive assessment, including tools like the Beery VMI, to understand specific strengths and areas for development.
- Personalised Goals: Working with you, your family, or support workers, we set clear, achievable goals aligned with your NDIS plan.
- Engaging Therapy Sessions: We deliver therapy through individualised sessions, often incorporating play-based learning for younger participants.
- Practical Strategies: We provide practical strategies and home practice ideas to integrate new skills into daily routines and across different environments.
- Ongoing Support: We regularly review progress and adjust therapy plans to ensure continued growth and success.
We are proud to support NDIS participants in Greenbank and the surrounding areas. Our mobile therapy services mean we can provide support in a setting that’s most comfortable and convenient for you, whether it’s at home, school, or another community location.
Common questions
- What is Visual Motor Integration and why is it important?
- Visual Motor Integration (VMI) is the ability to coordinate your eyes and hands to perform tasks like drawing, writing, or cutting. It's crucial for learning, self-care, and play, allowing us to interact effectively with our environment.
- What does Visual Motor Integration therapy involve?
- Our therapy uses fun and engaging activities to target underlying visual perception and fine motor skills. This might include drawing exercises, puzzles, construction tasks, and games that require precise eye-hand coordination. We tailor activities to the individual's age and goals.
- Can you help with Beery VMI assessment and intervention?
- Yes, we use standardised assessments like the Beery VMI (Beery-Buktenica Developmental Test of Visual-Motor Integration) to understand a participant's specific strengths and challenges. Based on these results, we develop targeted interventions to improve VMI skills.
- How do I know if my child needs Visual Motor Integration therapy?
- If your child struggles with copying shapes, letters, or numbers, has difficulty with handwriting, avoids drawing tasks, or has trouble using scissors or cutlery accurately, they might benefit from VMI therapy. We can assess their skills to determine if support is needed.
- Does Balance Allied Health Queensland support NDIS participants for VMI therapy?
- Absolutely. We support self-managed and plan-managed NDIS participants in Greenbank requiring visual motor integration therapy. Our goal is to empower individuals to achieve their NDIS goals.
