The aim of the 1:1 sessions is to focus on an area your child/young person needs support. I will work on communication, using a range of techniques; fine and gross motor skills or we can follow the rebound therapy program. Sessions are carried out to ensure that they are fun and feedback is provided through written sheets, emails and photos or videos are shared.

  • I offer one-to-one sessions for 25-30 minutes, focusing on areas as agreed with parents, delivered through play to encourage participation and enjoyment.
