Empowering Progress Between Sessions: The Importance of Home Programs

At South Coast Therapy and Support Group, we believe therapy doesn’t end when a session finishes—it continues at home, in the playground, at school, and in everyday life. That’s why home programs are a cornerstone of the way we work with clients and families.

Why Home Programs Matter

Home programs are individually tailored activities and strategies designed to help clients practice therapy goals between sessions. These programs offer:

• Consistency: Regular practice helps reinforce skills and build new habits.

• Empowerment: Families and carers become confident, active participants in therapy.

• Faster Progress: Clients who engage with home programs often reach their goals more quickly.

• Flexibility: Therapy can be adapted into daily routines, making it more manageable and meaningful.

We know life gets busy—and that’s exactly why we’ve invested in tools that make following a home program easier, more accessible, and more engaging.

How We Support Home Programs: TheraTrak and Seesaw

We use TheraTrak and Seesaw to provide engaging, interactive, and easy-to-use platforms for home programs.

🧠 TheraTrak

TheraTrak is a digital therapy platform designed specifically for allied health professionals and their clients. Through TheraTrak, our therapists can:

• Create tailored home programs with clear instructions and videos

• Track progress and adjust goals in real-time

• Communicate securely with families between sessions

• Reduce paper-based handouts (and lost homework sheets!)

TheraTrak allows us to respond dynamically to a child or adult’s progress, adapting the home program when needed and keeping communication flowing.

🌟 Seesaw

For our younger clients—especially those in early childhood or primary school—we use Seesaw, a fun, family-friendly app that helps build connection and track learning in real-time.

• Parents and carers receive regular photo or video updates of their child’s progress

• Children can view and engage with their therapy tasks through voice recordings, images, or drawings

• It creates a shared space between the child, their family, and the therapy team

Seesaw makes therapy fun and visual, helping children stay motivated and proud of their progress.

Supporting You Every Step of the Way

We understand that every family is different. That’s why our therapists take the time to build realistic home programs tailored to your child’s or loved one’s needs, routines, and energy levels. Whether you want just a few key strategies to focus on or a structured week-by-week plan, we’re here to help you make therapy work at home.

And with tools like TheraTrak and Seesaw, we’re bringing therapy into your world—where progress really happens.
