Our values at The Spark include curiosity and learning.  We use evidence informed approaches in our work.  Our philosophy is to support parents, caregivers and the child's team to understand a child's strengths and differences, share knowledge, develop problem solving skills and build capacity.  We want you to be able to integrate strategies into your everyday life in a way that suits your child, family and circumstances.  Our wonderful team of occupational therapists have produced some fact sheets to support you in your parenting journey.  Check in regularly as we will continue to add fact sheets.
