Sensory Processing Assessment

Children who show challenging behaviours from frequent outbursts such as biting, hitting along with unpredictable responses to different environments, often have underlying sensory processing difficulties. These youngsters may display high levels of anxiety, be easily distressed or appear very unmotivated and difficult to engage. Some children may also be extremely sensory seeking and very difficult to engage for any length of time.

Assessments:

Sensory Profile-school and caregiver questionnaire
Nursery observations
Teacher and staff interview
Sensory response

The aim:

If these behaviours are analysed and fully understood it equips staff with knowledge, programmes and sensory tools to diminish inappropriate behaviours and promote a more positive individual who will progress more effectively in nursery.

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!"
