Therapy & ongoing support
Goal-focused therapy to build skills, confidence and independence
Types of therapy support
Therapy at Sensphere is flexible and tailored to each child or young person's needs. We offer:
- •
Individual therapy sessions
One-to-one sessions focused on specific goals, typically 45-60 minutes. These may take place in a clinic, at home or at school.
- •
Blocks of intervention
A series of sessions (often 6-12 sessions) focused on a particular area, with clear goals and regular review.
- •
Home and school programmes
Practical strategies and activities that families and schools can carry out between sessions to support progress.
Example therapy goals
Therapy goals are always set collaboratively with families and, where appropriate, the child or young person. Examples include:
Daily living skills
Dressing independently, managing mealtimes, following morning or bedtime routines
Handwriting and fine motor
Developing pencil grip, letter formation, scissor skills and tool use
Attention and learning
Supporting focus, organisation and participation in classroom activities
Self-regulation
Understanding and managing sensory needs, emotions and energy levels
Our therapy approach
Our therapy is child-led, collaborative and practical:
- •
Child-led
We follow the child or young person's interests and work at their pace, using activities they enjoy.
- •
Collaborative
We work closely with families and schools to ensure strategies can be carried over into everyday life.
- •
Practical strategies
Our recommendations are realistic and achievable, designed to fit into existing routines and environments.
Review and ending
We regularly review progress with families and adjust therapy goals as needed. Therapy may pause or end when:
- •Goals have been achieved and the child or young person is managing well
- •A break is needed to allow time for skills to consolidate
- •The family feels confident to continue with strategies independently
We're always happy to discuss returning for further support if new needs arise or circumstances change.
