Our therapy sessions employ evidence-based techniques delivered in a supportive and engaging environment. We work collaboratively with parents and caregivers, providing practical strategies and activities that can be continued at home to reinforce progress. We also liaise closely with schools and other professionals involved in the child's care, ensuring a coordinated approach to support the child effectively within their local community.
