Home Our Approach Clinical therapy

Clinical therapy

The Clinical team provides input universally at Kestrel House through ‘whole school’ and ‘whole class’ approaches.

Therapeutic approaches are embedded into the fabric of the school day to enrich and develop skills as part of naturally occurring routines and activities.

Further indirect or direct support from the clinical team can be provided on a needs basis and/or to meet EHCP requirements.  This may be at a specialist level (e.g. 1:1 therapy blocks or specialised equipment issue) or a targeted level (e.g. small group therapy, programmes of support handed over to staff). 

Universal training opportunities are offered throughout the year to both parents and staff. This may include training topics such as Therapeutic use of self, Adult Child Interaction, Sensory Processing Challenges, Autism Awareness training. Additional targeted therapy training is also offered as required. This is dependent on the needs and goals of the learner (e.g. SCERTS, Attention Autism, Zones of Regulation, Adult and Child interaction, AAC).

Lucy Allen – Occupational Therapist

As the OT at KHS, I value greatly the part I can play in supporting learners to develop key regulation and self-help skills- as these can make a real difference to their quality of life both now and in their journey to adulthood. I also value the creativity my role requires – trouble shooting with teachers and families to adapt activities and routines that both support and celebrate our learner’s unique strengths, differences and interests.

Katie Combs – Speech and Language Therapist 

As the Lead Clinician and SaLT (speech and language therapist) at KHS, I find it inspiring being able to watch as learners gain confidence in finding their voice and communicate more effectively with those most important to them.  I really enjoy working alongside teachers and families, in an environment that values and celebrates a diverse range of communication styles and needs.
