We offer expert guidance and practical strategies to make the journey of teaching self-care skills less daunting. This can range from teaching your child the steps for toileting, putting their shirt on correctly, brushing their teeth, using cutlery and falling asleep at night. We tailor self-care routines to suit the child's individual strengths and challenges, ensuring that each step of the process is as comfortable and effective as possible.

Our aim is to help you and your child discover ways to manage big emotions. We can help you decode the complex world of sensory experiences that our children navigate daily. We can provide your family with insights, strategies, and activities to help your child regulate their sensory responses and build resilience.

Teenagers

We adopt a holistic approach when working with teenagers and their families, providing support across these major transitional periods. Adolescence is a time of significant emotional, physical, and cognitive changes which can be difficult. However, this is made even more difficult for teens with disabilities. We work together to develop life skills necessary for daily living. These skills may include self-care routines, healthy food choices, chores, shopping, cooking, budgeting, building a social group, work readiness and driving. Working together with the teen's network to support the transition post-school and increasing independence.
