PLACES FOR PROVIDERS The creation of a multi-functional community common area provides the potential for expanded centre programming and additional services. These services are child-oriented health allies that provide an additional level of engagement and care. For example elements of integrated health care such as physiotherapy, speech pathology and psychologists have the opportunity to occupy temporary treatment rooms provided in the common areas. Offering a variety of consultation spaces allows for formal and informal conversation in a more comfortable environment. The provision of these services operates on a partnership with staff members to provide specialised care for struggling children and early detection and intervention for cognitive difficulties. The co-location of such services allows for parents to access additional care without disruption to a child’s weekly routine6.
