Handwriting assessment 

Cerebral Palsy, ABI, and neuromuscular disorders can often lead to challenges like chronic fatigue, juvenile arthritis, and hypermobility. For infants, conditions such as flat head syndrome or torticollis and plagiocephaly, along with delayed milestones like slow rolling, crawling, or walking, may arise. Observation of toddlers, especially those who are toe walking, frequently falling, or displaying clumsiness, is crucial. Additionally, issues like pigeon-toed walking, flat feet, or metatarsus adductus can be addressed through physiotherapy services. Clicky hips and awkward running patterns often indicate the need for support from paediatric physiotherapy. Children may also struggle with hypermobility, which can affect their ability to hop, skip, swim, run, or ride a bike. It's common for youngsters to experience foot, leg, back, or tummy pain that worsens with activity, underscoring the importance of exercise physiology and effective interventions like occupational therapy. Postural issues such as sway back, protruding tummies, and winging shoulder blades, along with poor ball skills and hand-eye coordination, can indicate motor learning difficulties. Conditions like scoliosis and musculoskeletal problems such as knee pain may also require targeted physiotherapy services. Finally, issues with babies moving out of sitting or bottom-shuffling instead of crawling represent areas where comprehensive assessments and tailored strategies in dietetics and therapy can make a significant difference.
