Occupational therapy for children and young people.

Sensphere provides specialist assessments and therapy to support everyday life – at home, at school and in the community.

  • Autism-informed and neurodiversity-affirming practice
  • Sensory and functional skills support
  • Collaborative working with families and schools

Three key pillars

Our approach centres on assessments, therapy, and supporting children and young people in their everyday lives.

Child in therapy assessment session

Assessments

Clear, structured assessments that build a picture of your child or young person's strengths, needs and everyday participation.

Children engaging in therapeutic activities

Therapy

Goal-focused therapy to build functional skills, confidence and independence.

Children playing and learning together

Children & Young People (CYP)

We work with children and young people across home, school and community settings.

How it works

Our straightforward pathway from initial enquiry to ongoing support.

1

Initial enquiry & discussion

We'll have a short conversation to understand your needs and answer any questions.

2

Assessment sessions and observations

Structured assessment sessions, which may include observations at home or school.

3

Feedback, recommendations and report

A clear conversation about findings, followed by a written report with practical recommendations.

4

Therapy and ongoing support

If appropriate, we can provide goal-focused therapy sessions and ongoing support.

Who we support

We work with children and young people who may find certain aspects of everyday life more challenging than their peers.

Children engaging in various activities
  • Children and young people who find everyday tasks harder than peers, such as dressing, eating, or following routines.
  • CYP who experience sensory differences that affect comfort and participation in daily activities.
  • CYP with coordination, handwriting or fine motor difficulties that impact learning or daily living.
  • CYP with neurodevelopmental differences (including autism) needing functional support to participate fully in home, school and community life.
