DEVELOPMENT THERAPY
ibic pioneered the use of neuroplasticity developmental therapy nearly fifty years ago which harnesses the brain’s natural ability to create new, strong pathways to form new habits and behaviours. We assess children to understand their challenges and teach their parents/carers to carry out therapeutic strategies to help their child manage their social, communication, sensory, motor, and learning difficulties. We are a national charity so help children, young people and their families from across the country. Our digital therapies have made this even easier and has lessened the travel costs for many families. We are unique because we focus on the whole child rather than the diagnosis; not limiting ourselves to just one condition but looking at the child holistically to determine their specific needs. WHAT DO WE DO? The therapy team provide a range of bespoke assessments which encompass all areas of development. Using tests, observation and conversation they create an

appropriate and individualised therapy plan. The family receives an extensive report detailing the assessment and subsequent therapies post assessment. OUR IMPACT bibic’s neuroplasticity developmental therapy transforms the lives of children and their families. The therapy programme is personalised to the interests of the child and to the habits and routines of the family, making it sustainable. The child has ownership over the therapy and naturally uses its techniques when they start feeling the positive effects. The therapy helps the children to manage their sensory needs, improve their communication skills, express their feelings, reduce their anxiety and keep challenging behaviour to a minimum. Similarly, parents become more aware, confident, and able to support their child. As a result of a survey conducted last year of all the parents who attended bibic: Our Services (All can be delivered either face to face or digitally). FULL ASSESSMENT Our two-day assessment assesses the whole child discovering their strengths and weaknesses. We use tests for understanding the child’s ability levels, language abilities, processing, working memory, visual perception, Dyslexia, ASD, ADHD, sensory screeners and movement screeners. You will receive a bespoke therapy plan specific to your child on the second day of assessment and then a comprehensive report 3 – 4 weeks after the assessment. For
ongoing support, you will also get 6 months of key working with your allocated therapist to support you in taking to your child’s school and other professionals. SCREENERS If you are seeking evidence to support you on your journey then we can just administer specific screeners. These cover Sensory Processing Disorder, Autism, ADHD, Dyslexia and Dyspraxia. You will receive brief strategies, and a report after the assessment. SHORT ASSESSMENTS We also deliver specific short assessments where you will receive a report strategies and 3 months of key working these cover: behaviour, sensory, wellbeing and developmental assessments (for the under 5s).
