Infant Massage 0-4yrs | Loughborough Autumn Term 1
Our Infant massage sessions use positive touch and massage techniques to improve interaction, and support personal, social and emotional development. These sessions are part of our targeted support programme series, which provide families with the opportunity to work towards individual targets, in line with recognised frameworks. It's a great choice for families who would like more specialised support, focusing on key areas of their child's development!
Our Infant massage sessions support children to form relationships, manage behaviors and build self-awareness. Each week will focus on a new part of the body for massage, and there will be supporting activities for your child to engage with to allow them to explore what's best for them. It's a great way for families to build positive connections, enhance understanding of each others cues, and develop relaxing routines.
Alongside learning the benefits and practical skills of infant massage, you'll also gain lots of ideas on how to personalise the techniques to best suit your child and incorporate into your own routines. We'll also provide you with a resource pack so that you have the tools and information to continue this support at home and feel confident to do so.
Who is it for?
This session is for families who are part of our free Connect and Play service, which supports children aged 0-8 with complex disabilities. If you’re not sure whether this session is for you, please complete our service enquiry form or contact [email protected] to speak with a member of our team.
Due to the nature of the sessions, we recommend each parent/carer attending with just one child, if possible, to allow for one-to-one interaction and optimal learning. If you have any questions or concerns about this, please get in touch.
This session is specifically for children aged 0-4yrs, If your child is 5-8yrs but is able to attend please contact us on the email above.
