Paediatric Therapy Platform

Making children's therapy services available, accessible, safe and fun

Help us to develop the best children's therapy platform by answering this questionnaire!

All answers are anonymous and we don't collect any identifiable personal details in this questionnaire. The answers are used to guide the development of a new therapy platform as described below. Please contact katja.t.takala@gmail.com for any questions.

We are a group of parents with disabled children developing a therapy platform which is 100% patient centric answering the real needs of children and their carers. We envision this service to be used in addition to any services the NHS provides to your child and the ambition is to give every child the best possible support.

Our goal is to gather the best therapists on this platform and open their diaries so that it's easy for you to book an appointment that works for you. Together with the clinicians we are also developing an at-home learning programme which can be tailored to your child's unique needs.

To bring this service to life, we need you fellow parents!

Please help us by answering the questionnaire below and spread the word to other parents in your network who might be interested in this kind of service.

Thank you Wise Hive for your support!!
