P.A.N.D.A. Therapy, a trusted provider of paediatric therapy services in Tasmania since 1997, has unveiled its new online portal, designed specifically to support staff within the Department for Education, Children and Young People (DECYP). This innovative website offers a wealth of resources and information tailored to assist educators in fostering equitable learning outcomes for students with disabilities.

Grounded in the core values of Inclusion, Accountability, Collaboration, and Professionalism, the new platform is a natural extension of P.A.N.D.A. Therapy's commitment to empowering schools. The website is focused on capacity-building in the areas of physical, sensory, and psychosocial support, enabling educators to integrate these skills into their daily teaching practices seamlessly.

As part of our long-standing mission to improve educational outcomes for children with diverse needs, this website is a step forward in ensuring all students, regardless of their abilities, can thrive in the classroom,

The new portal complements P.A.N.D.A. Therapy’s clinical services, which are delivered through its Southern Tasmania-based practice, P.A.N.D.A. Physiotherapy. By providing online tools, strategies, and guidance, the website allows teaching staff to incorporate therapy principles into their educational plans. Whether addressing motor, sensory, or psychosocial challenges, the resources are designed to optimise functional outcomes for students with delays or disabilities.

With a sleek, modern design, the website is user-friendly and accessible, reflecting P.A.N.D.A. Therapy’s forward-thinking approach to education and therapy integration. The organisation looks forward to continuing its collaboration with DECYP staff, ensuring they feel equipped and supported in their critical roles.
