Physiotherapy

Programmes are developed after full assessment, looking at muscle strength, muscle tone, balance, bilateral and upper limb co-ordination, planning and gross motor function. When physio is required, the child is seen either individually or in a small group, and support is also given in PE where necessary. We work closely with the Occupational Therapy department and other relevant staff, so that aims of treatment and targets are appropriate and compatible. Some students have a daily exercise programme monitored in the evening by the nursing staff, care staff or parents. 

For Key Stage 2 children, ‘Early Birds’ sessions before classes begin offer a daily exercise programme.
