Integrated therapy

Educational psychology

We have commissioned regular visits from registered Chartered Educational Psychologists. Their role is to help tailor provision to meet each student’s individual needs.

They provide support and training for our staff to enable them to deliver targeted interventions and embed therapy into the curriculum, removing barriers to learning.

They also offer specialist advice and information for parents to help support students at home through workshops and meetings with parents.

Speech and Language Therapy

Our Speech and Language Therapist visits us regularly to deliver bespoke interventions and therapy to our students, supporting a range of speech, language and communication needs.

They also offer support and training for our staff, working with them to identify areas of needs and strength and deliver targeted interventions to strengthen our students’ communication and interaction skills.

In addition to their work with students and staff, our Speech and Language Therapist is able to offer specialist advice and information for parents through meetings and workshops to help support students at home.

Occupational therapy

We have commissioned weekly visits from an Occupational Therapist trained in sensory integration.

They are able to provide sensory profiling for individual students and create programmes of support for developing fine and gross motor skills, emotional regulation, self care skills and maintenance of physical well-being, to be delivered by our staff as part of the curriculum.

They also offer advice to our staff on the sensory environment in the classroom and around the premises, and on strategies to support students with sensory processing differences.

 

All of our therapists are able to conduct one to one therapy sessions as set out in individual students’ EHC Plans and according to their funding packages.
