MOVEMENT ASSESSMENT

Many youngster in special schools display a delay in their fine and gross motor development which are often over looked, as seen in line with their cognitive ability skills.

These vital foundation movement skills need to be addressed. Not only to aid the child’s planning and organisation, but release the child’s capacity to improve their attention and focus in the class. By addressing these vital areas would also serve the purpose of aiding a child’s self- regulation more effectively.

What

  • Classroom and PE observation
  • Standardised Movement ABC ( With children with mild LD )

The aim

To improve a child’s motor development to work towards independence with tasks. Ultimately to improve their organisation and attention in class.

Our therapists at Tree Tops are passionate about working with educational staff to grow their knowledge and skills. School staff will be trained and supported when learning to work with children affected by sensory and motor difficulties to integrate the programmes designed for them.

Many children with learning difficulties will have sensory processing difficulties, causing them to struggle with every day experiences like movement and sound. We will assess and design individual programmes and work with teachers on how to implement these into children's routines.

Tree Tops believe all young children benefit from our therapeutic activities and interventions. Whilst we can provide programmes for developmentally delayed children, an integrated approach into the nursery environment ensures no children are overlooked.

Testimonials

"Through structure and pushing the boundaries each week we saw a huge change in our son’s relationships with adults and other children. Asking our son about the experience he will tell you that he loves attending Tree Tops because it’s fun and exciting and he can wrestle with the bear in Reception."

"The Think Sensory Not Behaviour Training helped me to think of the underlying cause of many of the behaviours we see in Nursery and lots of positive strategies we can use to prevent them and support individual children.”

"I feel enormously inspired and passionate about implementing strategies to support a wide range of needs for children in our school. I'm excited to work alongside the Tree Tops team!"
