Sundial Therapy

A multi professional team of specialist therapists, from Sundial Therapy, provides therapy across Wargrave House School.

As well as providing direct therapeutic intervention for those who need it, the therapy team support the education team in embedding therapy prescribed strategies into learning experiences in a range of environments.

Specialist Occupational Therapists (OTs) provide adaptive strategies to support the developmental of functional activities and life skills. Sensory and emotional regulation is the foundation for developing concentration, processing, communication skills, and adaptive functioning. Embedded therapeutic strategies from the OTs are also used include structured, physical environments with visual support systems and individual workstations, sensory diets and adaptable environments to meet individual needs.

Speech & Language Therapy evidence-based approaches are used across the curriculum such as Colourful Semantics and Attention Autism. Additionally, a Total Communication approach is adopted whereby all children and young adults are enabled by using effective clear verbal language, Makaton signing, Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) and Assistive Technology.

At Wargrave House, therapy informs teaching, and teaching informs therapy, so individual learning needs are met. Shared person-centred therapy targets ensure a cohesive, consistent practice in meeting learning needs outlined in Educational Health Care Plans. Any direct therapy in 1:1 sessions or group therapy is provided according to need. Outcome measures are used to show the progress and benefits of the high level of therapy support.
