SEND Support and Therapy Sessions

“The privilege of being oneself is a gift many take for granted, but for someone with autism, being allowed to be oneself is the greatest gift of all” Alyssa Aleksanian, 2016

Our highly specialised team run regular classes, support sessions, assessments, therapy and workshops for families who have children and young people with a label of Special Educational Needs and Disabilities. We have a keen focus on autistic children and young, children who may have speech and language difficulties, Co-ordination difficulties, muscle disorders and attention difficulty conditions. We also support other educational settings, parents/carers and therapists to support those children more effectively.

Here our team of Special Educational Needs Coordinators, Autistic adults, Teachers, Psychologists, Speech and language therapists, Music, Art and Lego therapists, Re-bound therapists, Occupational and Physio Therapists work together to create an exceptional learning environment for Children and their families.

All our therapists and practitioners are experienced, qualified and registered in their specialist area. Working alongside one another enables us to create a tailor made therapy plan that is individualised to each child’s needs. We work closely with autistic adults and children and the parents of autistic children to ensure every session is focused on the wellbeing and happiness of each of our pupils. Our centre has a focus on reducing autistic related anxiety and promote positive mental health.

We have both funded and Independent places available. Most of our training and information workshops are offered free of charge to families in need.

WORKING IN PARTNERSHIP

Our Centre works in collaboration with three Universities and two colleges, allowing us to share best practice with the goal of supporting as many families as possible.

Here we work alongside preregistration students and their lecturers to create vital learning opportunities for students whilst also proving our registered children with additional support systems.

If you are a training establishment interested in working in partnership, please email us directly.

Training and support for professionals

Our team is led by Terasa who is a qualified teacher and SENCO and has undertaken Post Graduate training in education, psychology, autism and special educational needs. Our approach is entirely focused on accepting autistic individuals for who they are and educating others on how they can support autistic individuals throughout their learning journey and beyond.

If you are a professional requiring training, support or advise in relation to an autistic child or young person whom you may be supporting or teaching, one of our workshops or 1:1 sessions may be highly beneficial to your professional role.

We also provide support and training for teachers and educational settings by working with the families of autistic children and their SENCO/Teachers, enabling professionals to fully understand the child’s needs and how they can support this process.
