Bendigo Community Health Services’ Stepping Stones Group supports children who have a current NDIS early childhood plan.
The program is available to children aged 2.5 years to school age through our Early Childhood Intervention Service.
Based on the Karen Stagnitti Learn to Play program, the groups provide a space for children to enjoy engaging in pretend play.
The ability to engage in pretend play is linked to development in language, narrative understanding, creativity, social competence, emotional self-regulation and cognitive skills.
