Occupational Therapy
Maximising the potential of every student starts with their senses: how we perceive the world directly influences how we move, the skills we develop, our emotional reactions, behaviour, social interaction and ability to focus, engage and participate. 聽
Our in-house Occupational Therapy team supports students with sensory integration, motor skills and physical needs. We work holistically and consider the student鈥檚 emotions, development, values and aspirations. The level of support is tailored to meet the needs of the individual student and may for example, include direct therapy and / or collaborative working approaches to support student participation and skill development, such as to:
