Collaboration — Schools & Professionals
Creating shared understanding and support
Children and young people’s participation is shaped by their environments. Meaningful change often happens through environmental adaptation, shared understanding, and collaborative support rather than expectation of individual change alone.
Support for schools and professionals may include:
- observation and contextual analysis
- environmental accommodations and sensory considerations
- participation-focused planning
- reflective consultation
- occupational therapy training and professional development
- staff discussion and collaborative problem-solving
Training and Professional Learning
Training and professional learning sessions are tailored to the needs of individual organisations, teams, and settings. Sessions are designed to be practical, reflective, and grounded in everyday participation and real-world practice.
Areas may include:
- Participation, inclusion, and belonging
- Sensory experiences within everyday contexts
- Handwriting and functional skill development
- Co-regulation, relationships, and participation
- Supporting children and young people with Down syndrome
- Neuro-affirming occupational therapy practice
This work is informed by extensive experience across education, occupational therapy, leadership, and specialist services, with an emphasis on sustainable, system-aware approaches that can be meaningfully embedded within practice.
If you are interested in training or would like to discuss a bespoke session for your setting or organisation, please get in touch.
