They follow a 3-step approach:
1. IDENTIFY: Following a comprehensive assessment package, the areas of strength and challenge for the child will be identified.
2. EDUCATE: With knowledge of what impacts the child's development, my client is equipped to share knowledge and educate everyone working with the child to ensure their unique needs are fully understood and supported.
3. ACCELERATE: Within each therapeutic treatment package, a designated therapist will work with the school, family, and child to provide personal therapy, individualized goals, and specific activity programs to ensure therapy addresses their unique needs and supports them to reach their full potential at a pace and intensity that is just right for them.
This post will involve direct work with children and young people with autism and other complex needs, as listed above. The purpose of the role is to support therapists, including occupational therapists, speech and language therapists, and physiotherapists, in the provision and further development of high-quality therapeutic work.
