Kids Plus Foundation was founded in 2003 by parents of children with a disability, therapists and concerned community members in response to the gap in access to quality and regular goal focused therapy for children with cerebral palsy, stroke or brain injury.
The Kids Plus therapy program has always been focussed on providing specialist programs for young people with neuro-developmental conditions in order to increase their participation and engagement in daily life.
