2010 Block Holiday Programme

We run block sessions for children with cerebral palsy and hemiplegia as part of our established annual Block Holiday Programme which coincides with the school holidays (i.e. Spring Half Term; Easter Break; Summer Half Term; and Summer Holidays).

Also, groups are split into under 3’s; under 5’s; primary age children; and by level of mobility. Places are limited and all new participants need to undergo an assessment prior to placement. Please see the following table for details:

As part of the expansion of our Pre-School and Outreach programme, The London Centre will now be running regular Dyspraxia Workshops and a Saturday Group. Dyspraxia is a difficulty with thinking, planning and carrying out sensory/motor tasks. It has become an umbrella term for disorders in which one or several areas of development are affected. It is sometimes referred to as ‘clumsy child’ syndrome.

The programme will be designed to address the needs of the children attending and could include sessions and activities to improve children's balance, co-ordination, perception, physical awareness, handwriting and social skills. If you require a printed copy of this information, here is a copy of the poster.

Some children with dyspraxia are fortunate to receive an early diagnosis, whereas others remain undiagnosed – both groups of children can benefit from attending a Dyspraxia Workshop.
