Context In order for children to grow and develop to their full potential all children need to be surrounded by an environment (family, home, early years staff, schools) that provides rich opportunities for them to learn, communicate and develop physically. Whilst most children given these opportunities will develop as expected, many children will find it harder, with some experiencing a delay in their development, whilst others will present with more complex difficulties that will significantly affect their ability to make friends, learn and manage on a day to day basis.

Physiotherapy Children and young people who present with any condition which impairs their physical development and therefore may affect functional physical potential.
