My first two days at DSC were pretty cruisy because my supervisor was off sick. I went out on two home visits each day. I have learnt heaps about developmental delay with kids who have down syndrome and about their low muscle tone. The physio's aims for each session with the kids is to observe how they are going and to teach their parents what they can do with their child in everyday activities and what exercises they can do with them. I have only observed on each visit but i am hoping to get some hands on experience soon with some kids. I am working with all the phyio's in the north coastal team and occasionally might go out on visits with the OT or speechy. I met one of my supervisors this arvo and will hopefully meet the other on thurs. I have done quit alot of reading so far but hopefully my days will fill up more when everything is more settled.
