Group Programs
At Splash, our group programs are a fantastic way to bring the skills learnt in individual sessions into a group setting. We offer a range of group programs to cater for a variety of needs throughout the school year. All of our group programs offered are tailored to align with your child’s individual therapy program. We also offer education programs for parents and caregivers, facilitated by our Speech Pathologists and Occupational Therapists. These programs provide parents and carers with information and skills to support their child’s development at home.
