Child’s details

Newlife defines a significant disability as being a physical and/or cognitive impairment which affects activities of daily living. A life-threatening condition should be defined as a condition whereby the next period of ill health would make it likely that life- sustaining intervention would be needed. Newlife defines a life-limiting condition as a condition that results in a shortened life expectancy, as opposed to having limited life experiences that could affect quality of life. A terminal illness is generally defined as not being expected to live longer than six months and/or a person who has an advanced care plan to meet end of life care needs.

If so, please record the extent to which these are controlled and if there are any known triggers for these seizures - such as flashing/bright lights, loud noises etc. Please note that if we believe there to be an associated risk we will remove items from The Play Therapy Pod before provision

Think about your child’s physical, social & emotional, communication and Cognitive development.

We recognise that all children’s development is unique to them, and children may need toys that are better suited to their stage not their chronological age. As such we will happily accept applications for any pods that don’t exceed your child’s age.

If you need support in identifying the type of pod that would offer the most support, please don’t hesitate to contact Newlife’s Child and Family Support Team on 01543 468 888 option 2 or liaise with your local professional to help identify ways to use the toys in line with any existing developmental plans which you may have.

Visual Toys - encourage visual focus, coordination and stimulation.
Interactive Toys - demonstrate cause and effect and encourage interactive play.
Auditory Toys - make noises and encourage auditory stimulation
Tactile Toys - will stimulate touch and encourage associated motor functions
