Group Programs
Sense AFL and Sense Rugby
Sense AFL and Sense Rugby are Occupational Therapy programs designed to help children who usually find it difficult to be part of a sports team. We use sport as our tool for therapy.
There are many reasons why children may struggle to find success and enjoyment in sport. We are here to help you understand why and send them on their way to success.
Some of the goals families have when they join a Sense AFL or Sense Rugby program include for their children to:
Have fun!
Develop their confidence and self-esteem
Find a regular activity that can be their own
Learn a new skill that gives them a great community to belong to for life
Find a way to get the movement they seek in an appropriate environment
Work on their gross motor and co-ordination skills
Make friends
Learn how to follow instructions, wait their turn and be part of a group
Learn how to manage their emotions
Improve their ability to self-regulate
..and many more!
Our weekly group sessions currently run in Box Hill, Elwood and Prahran.
We also run in-school group sessions during lunch breaks. Reach out if interested
