We know how important it is to ensure that children’s overall development needs, as well as therapy goals, are supported in the classroom environments.

Recognising the learning potential in children and working toward reducing the barriers of children with SEND is our passion.

We understand children with additional needs and are able to support the school, to ensure that the unique needs of these children are correctly supported. We feel strongly that children with additional needs, require a little more help in the classroom and playground in order to reduce barriers to learning.

The cornerstones of our business are:

  • Identifying needs of children with SEND
  • Matching equipment to specific needs of children
  • Providing professional expertise and support to SEND families, departments and teachers
  • Identifying and sourcing high quality, safe therapeutic equipment

Our professional skills and expertise allow us to liaise with teachers and SEN Departments in the school to identify the needs of children and to match the appropriate equipment.

We provide support and training for the personnel who will be using the equipment. Our intervention can mean the difference between calm and focused learners and dis-regulated learners. Even the simplest pieces of equipment, when correctly used, can make immense differences in supporting children to meet their potential.

Identifying the needs of children with SEND

When children present with barriers to learning in the school, it’s important for teachers and support staff to fully understand those needs. Our therapists have years of experience in interpreting therapy reports and assessments, while identifying how each child’s needs will be impacted in the school setting. Early intervention is fundamental in meeting requirements of children with needs, whether minimal or extensive.

Matching equipment to children’s specific needs, creating the right space in the school.
