Over the last five years, there has been a proliferation of requests for children under 3 years of age. Increasingly, parents are being informed by paediatricians, nursery nurses and their wider environment about possible communication, social and developmental difficulties that these children may have.
At our center, the demand for deficits related to speech delay, behavioral difficulties, limited interests, repetitive routines and feeding difficulties are among the most common from 1.5 to 3 years of age.
In addition, in high-risk infants, either due to low birth weight or significant prematurity, we organize a weekly follow-up, entirely formed by specialized physiotherapists, who take care of cases that may present the above characteristics, but also children with respiratory distress, hare-lipped, lynx mouth and psychomotor delay (head holding, torso control, muscle tone control, positional maintenance, etc.).
Our healers
All of our therapists, regardless of specialty, are properly trained in early intervention.
Our physiotherapists are the first to take care of children from the neonatal age when it comes to premature infants or children with cerebral palsy, syndromes or respiratory difficulties.
Our occupational therapists intervene early in children who have limited interests, stereotypes, behavioural difficulties, sensory regulation and discrimination difficulties, etc.
Our speech and language therapists intervene with children with speech delays, feeding disorders and interaction difficulties.
Our psychologists undertake the counselling of parents in order to focus on the child's potential and to work in a co-therapeutic way in the programme.
Our premises in Peristeri
All our spaces are designed and organized in such a way that they can accommodate children of young ages.
In physiotherapy there is the therapeutic “table” where parents and the therapist intervene with the infants.
In occupational therapy the whole room is covered with large floor puzzles and the walls are lined with primer materials for the safety of the children.
In speech therapy there are mattresses, pillows and poufs.
