LINKS Playgroup
Our LINKS Playgroup is for parents who have a child under 6 years of age displaying:
- Delays in their communications skills
- Difficulty playing and engaging with their peers or siblings
- Interest in a limited range of toys and activities
- Delayed or unusual play skills
Our playgroup provides the opportunity for parents and carers to talk to our experienced therapists and play leaders while your child is learning play and communication skills. Each group will provide you with the opportunity to gain information and techniques so you can learn how to best support your child. Attending our playgroup also gives you the opportunity to meet and connect with families who understand you and share similar experiences.
This program is for families who are not accessing NDIS funded therapy providers. LINKS Playgroup was previously named First Steps Playgroup.
