Description

Tree Tops Children's Occupational Therapy can provide the following:

  • Training for parents and professionals
  • Laision with education, families, Looked After Service, and all other professional organisations
  • Private assessments and treatments in our clinic for both children, young people and adults
  • Assessments and treatment packages in school
  • Feeding techniques for fussy/problem feeders
  • Help with anxiety
  • Bespoke training
  • Bespoke services to special schools.

If a child/young adult has difficulties with their sensory/motor development, they will struggle to learn and find life very challenging at home, school and in the working environment.  Attending treatment sessions and working on the sensory motor components, can help a person to be in the "right gear" for learning and attain better results.  

Sensory Processing Disorder Parent Support Group North East England

They also organise events with the children and their siblings.  If you would like more information please contact spdpsgnee@gmail.com.  You can also find out what's happening with the group by visiting the Parent Support Group News section of the Tree Tops website.  

Impact Youth Group 

Launched in December 2016, the group was created for young adults aged 15+ who are socially shy/anxious, low self-esteem and are low on confidence, in the hope that its members would chat confidentially with other members.  They have a secret Facebook group, which is monitored by DBS checked adults who encourage friendly chat between the young people who struggle to make friends.  The group is invite only and the aims are; to share information and experiences and which it also offers support. Group meetings will also take place to encourage members to meet and develop social skills through interaction with one another.  For more information or to join the group email: impactyouthgroup18@gmail.com

Check out the Tree Tops website and see the testimonials from families and schools that show how passionate the team are in helping the wider community.
