Information for parents
The physiotherapy service understands how important parents and professionals who work with children in Hillingdon are in helping children and young people to develop their motor skills and ability to access the environment.
We are often asked for advice on how to help children develop their gross motor skills and also on some specific areas of difficulty or pieces of equipment.
