All Strong

Another brilliant session with our weekly group for children and teens with Developmental Coordination Disorder, in partnership with NHS Tayside Children and Young People's Occupational Therapy Service, Perth Royal Infirmary Sunflower Centre.

Today the group started their Activity Achievement Journals, and set and achieved their first challenges.

We also use Mood Scores /10 before and after to highlight immediated boost to sense of wellbeing.

Most participants were at a 10, with one 11, at the start of the session. When asked why, they explained "Because we're here at All Strong!" 😀

A big congratulations to our Perth Autism Support group, who have been the first to complete their achievememts and challenges to gain their All Strong Games gold medals! 😀🏅
