Supporting Professionals

A range of different professionals work within our school to ensure we have a multi professional approach to the education of our children and young people. They help us ensure we provide individualised and whole school approaches to support our children and young people to achieve well. We have speech and language therapy, occupational therapy art therapy, music therapy and educational psychology commissioned by our trust. This is in addition to working cooperatively and closely with colleagues from local health and social care services.

Jodie, Occupational Therapist

Jodie has worked with many children and young people with; autism, ADHD, sensory difficulties and complex medical needs. This has required patience and good communication skills which are vital to help develop positive relationships, with both the individual and their families. Taking the time to get to know and understand each individual is essential to providing a bespoke and relevant package for all areas of development. With this knowledge, Jodie is able to ensure that the children and young people are supported, engaged, regulated and motivated.

Jodie is committed to supporting and advocating their independence and emotional regulation needs both at school and at home. As an example, Jodie has implemented a whole school sensory circuit for children and young people to access, allowing them to regulate and be ready for learning.

Jodie also has experience with postural support/management in regard to specialist seating and equipment, and how it can be used to increase engagement, communication and interaction with lessons.
