Dressing programme

Using our expertise we can design a specific dressing programme for a child to develop independence using backward chaining techniques and modification to the task. Along with incorporating specific fun activities into PE or the motor skills programme to develop the necessary movement skills need for the task.

The aim to dress with independence thereby releasing staff time.

Feeding programme

A child who struggles to eat may require not only a personalised oral motor programme but access to food therapy sessions. Educational staff need to understand the complexity of the activity and how to help.

Sensory interventions with oral motor work would be designed for the child to do daily with teaching staff.  Therapy feeding sessions for problem feeders would be incorporated to widen the child’s experience and pleasure of food.

Personalised feeding programmes to target developing independent feeding skills involving the use of adapted cutlery, seat modification and therapeutic interventions can be used with children who struggle with the mechanics of feeding.

The aim is for improve a child’s relationship with food, widen their experience and work towards independent feeding.
