Areas to work towards

Last updated:

The following pages have example outcomes tailored to each age phase. While these age phases serve as a helpful guide, we recognise that every child and young person has unique needs. Consider the child's cognitive age when reviewing the outcomes associated with each phase.

Below are suggestions of things to consider working towards under each of the four pillars:

  • Adapting to new environments 
  • Playing with other children 
  • Real world play (builder, nurse, doctor) 

Independent Living

  • Feeding and drinking 
  • Toileting 
  • Real world play (kitchens, DIY, cleaning)
  • Getting dressed 
  • Making choices 

Community inclusion

  • Making friends 
  • Social interaction
  • Visits and day trips
  • Exploring different cultures 

Health

  • Checks at birth
