Therapy at St Elizabeth’s
Everyone living and learning at St Elizabeth's benefits from our therapy support
throughout the week. Therapy is incorporated throughout the curriculum and daily
routines, supporting our holistic approach to learning.
Therapeutic input runs concurrent with academic programmes
and are integrated into the day as part of individualised
timetables and daily routines.
Therapy sessions are provided in a format that is best suited to
an individual’s needs and preferences. This may be in 1:1 or
group sessions, or work indirectly by supporting teaching staff,
care staff and families to implement new initiatives. For
sessions provided in our therapy rooms, these have been
carefully developed to ensure it is an engaging and purposeful
environment, created for each individual attending.
We specialise in a range of therapeutic input including
Alternative and Augmentative Communication (AAC),
Rebound Therapy, Sensory Integration and Hydrotherapy, to
name a few. This allows us to provide expertise in the use of
specialist equipment such as eye gaze systems,
communication apps, specialised sensory assessment and
delivering extensive physiotherapy driven hydrotherapy for
those attending offsite sessions.

alongside peers.
