The Kids health information package aims to be a practical,
user-friendly and time-efficient resource for therapists to use in
conjunction with an occupational therapy program. The package
consists of information and activity idea sheets that are based on
collective evidence-based clinical experience and current resources
and journals. The package uses a standardised format and
illustrations are used to enhance the understanding of the
information. The activity ideas aim to be practical and fun and
many can be incorporated into everyday tasks. It is intended that
individual therapists will highlight the specific activities that
are most suitable for each child and emphasize the correct way to
do the activities. Home program sheet templates are also
included in the package.
