We are here to answer all your questions and give you ideas to help your little one’s development… and we can’t do that in 30 days.

No.

However, that's only 1 hour of your week.

Absolutely not. 

We would always recommend to see your local Paediatric Physio or OT so that your little one can be assessed and managed appropriately.
