Overview
What We Do
At Children’s Sensory Therapy AP, we offer a specialised educational provision designed for children aged 11 to 16 years who are academically able, motivated to re-engage with learning, and able to manage being outside their home environment for three hours in a one-to-one learning setting. Our provision is tailored for children who have struggled to thrive in mainstream education but have no significant behavioural needs. By offering a nurturing and safe space for learning, we aim to empower young people to develop essential life skills, re-engage with education, and achieve positive outcomes that allow them to reach their full potential.
A Personalised and Nurturing Approach
Our service provides an innovative, flexible, and compassionate alternative for academically able children who require a different approach than mainstream education. We combine high-quality one-to-one learning delivered by a qualified English teacher with one-to-one therapeutic sessions led by an occupational therapist. Each child’s plan is tailored to their unique needs, with 3 hours of personalised support per week, for minimum of 12 weeks. Our environment is intentionally designed to be safe, welcoming, and responsive to the needs of neurodiverse children, ensuring they feel supported and understood.
