Independent Skills Assessment

For any child struggling to master the skill of undressing or dressing. They may be slow, get garments the wrong way or need assistance.

Assessment:

Dressing observation before and after PE.

Why:

Vitally important skill for independence, and entering school along with releasing staff time.

Feeding assessment -

Many young children may struggle not only with the sensory properties of food (taste, smell, texture), but also lack good oral motor skills to deal with food in their mouth. Many also find it difficult to handle the utensils and feed independently.

Why:

Eating is vitally important for the child’s health and well- being. Frequently children who have a limited diet are at risk of growth problems and their feeding has a profound effect on family life.

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.

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!"
