Is my child suitable for Targeted Training therapy?
The Movement Centre offer a free assessment for every child who we believe may be suitable child to
determine if we feel they may benefit. The best thing you can do is call and have a chat to one of our therapy team.
How much does a course of Targeted Training therapy cost?
We are currently in a position to fully fund a course of therapy, but this is only achievable through the kind support we receive through fundraising and donations. You will be contacted by our fundraising team to ask whether you could fundraise, and support our work, at some point throughout your course.
How often will we have to visit The Movement Centre?
You will be expected to visit The Movement Centre every 8 weeks. Research has shown that this is
the optimum time for a child to learn control, and so assessing the child at these 8 week intervals is
really important for us to change their level of control in the standing frame. It is also important
that the standing frame is reviewed every 8 weeks at The Movement Centre.
Can we keep the standing frame at the end of the course? No. The standing frame that your child will be using through the course of therapy is on a hire agreement and must be returned to The Movement Centre at the end of the course
Can my child have more than one course of therapy? If our Physiotherapists feel that your child is still progressing and there is still potential for them to get stronger, then there is potential of more treatment.
Will we have support between sessions? Of course! We are always here to support every family that attends The Movement Centre. One of
our specialist Physiotherapists are always on the other end of the phone for you to contact. We also
have our Facebook page, email and our Family Support Group on Facebook. We also give fundraising
advice, support, and if you need materials then do get in contact.
Is there free parking available at The Movement Centre? Yes. There are disabled parking spaces outside The Movement Centre (Building 106). These are
available to visitors to The Movement Centre. If you do not have a blue badge we can provide a
parking permit.
