Playpak Guide For Therapists

Playpak is a portable early intervention therapy kit that helps children develop through play. It is a lightweight positioning system which is used for early intervention therapy - Therapists can advise parents on how to get the best out of Playpak, and the therapy can then continue at home and on the move.

 

The Playpak promotes three crucial early intervention postures to let children play and learn during therapy sessions or in the home.

About Playpak

Playpak is a shoulder bag containing an activity centre for early intervention. It suits babies and young children considered to be levels I-V on the Gross Motor Function Classification Scale (GMFCS), depending on their level of physical development.

It contains rolls, wedges and supports designed by our clinical experts in collaboration with therapists. The components combine in dozens of ways to facilitate important developmental postures while children play.

Playpak also comes with a valuable Online Activity Guide. The guide features expert advice and straightforward instructions, designed to help you show parents how to use Playpak effectively, and how to perform your recommended developmental games with their child. You can also download printed versions of the Online Guide from our Useful Downloads Section.

Our clever team of expert clinicians have designed the Playpak Therapy Programme to show you how to use Playpak for so much more than just play.

The Programme guides readers through a series of Mobility, Ability and Participation goals and activities, explaining how each one can be used to develop the earliest of skills, from lying to crawling.

Parents and therapists can choose activities, set goals and map developmental progress of children as they use their Playpak.
