Educational Phycological Assessment and Diagnosis

An educational psychological assessment is required to access support services in schools and colleges such as resource hours, special needs assistants, assistive technologies and exam accommodations. Our Educational Psychologists can provide CBT and can diagnose dyslexia, intellectual disability and other developmental delays and specific learning disabilities.

Occupational Therapy Assessment and Intervention

Our Occupational Therapists help children to develop the skills they need to perform their everyday ‘occupations’ of playing, learning, and engaging socially. We work on areas such as sensory processing, motor skills (fine and gross), cognition and social skills to ensure that children achieve their maximum functional independence in everyday activities such as:

• At home - eating, dressing, toileting

• At preschool - drawing, cutting, colouring, playing

• At school - handwriting, sustained posture at the desk, focus and concentration, task organisation

• In social situations - playing, cooperating, adapting to change, regulating emotions.

Speech and Language Therapy

Our Speech & Language Therapists help children to develop their speech, language, communication and verbal skills. These are critical skills that support effective communication and children’s abilities to understand, be understood and engage effectively in their home and school environments.

Play Therapy - Psychotherapy, delivered through play for children

Play therapy is a form of psychotherapy for children aged 3 and over to help support their mental health needs in cases of anxiety, trauma, bereavement, and issues of self-esteem. Play therapy uses play as a natural way for children to express their feelings.
