What to Expect

Initial consultation 

This is a discussion between the therapist and the caregiver. The goal of an initial consultation is the ascertain whether a child may benefit from an assessment. Parents are encouraged to ask questions. These questions may include anything about their child or questions about the therapists' qualifications and their fit for the family – there are no incorrect questions and we are happy to answer any queries you may have. 

Achievement

When a child is engaging in therapy session there will be regular reviews to assess how much progress the individual has made, whether they have achieved their goals or whether continuation of therapy is recommended. 

Assessment

If a family proceeds with an assessment, this may take place at the centre. The assessment will involve a series of activities and observations which the therapist uses to analyse the child’s skills. To the child, this will appear as a series of fun and interactive games. Following the assessment, the therapist will discuss the child's skills with their parents and determine whether therapy sessions are required.

Therapy

The therapy sessions may take place at the centre. Sessions take place in a consistent pattern to provide the child with a sense of routine and control over the process. We use the “just right” challenge when choosing activities to support skills development. This means the activity is challenging enough for the child to develop skills, whilst also feeling confident and successful.
