Specialist Sessions

Therapy in Praxis offers individualised therapy sessions using a variety of therapeutic approaches including sensory integration techniques rich in vestibular, proprioceptive and tactile inputs – areas where many children with neurological issues have deficits. A sensory integration approach encourages the child’s nervous system to process and integrate sensory input in organised and meaningful ways. As their adaptive responses provide feedback, their nervous system matures and organises at increasingly higher levels. Ultimately the child can interact with, and adapt to, their environment more successfully.

Intensive Sessions

Some children need intensive sessions (some as frequently as 3 - 5 times a week) for a short period of
time. These intensive sessions are sometimes coupled with auditory programmes. Children are given breaks with no therapy following these intensives to allow changes to occur.

Semi-Private Sessions

Therapy sessions can also be provided with two children and one therapist appropriately matched to add a new dimension to treatment and to help to work on social-communication skills. This is a great idea for children who excel in one-to-one situations but have significant difficulties coping in a group setting.
Typically, a semi-private session is considered after a child has first received individual therapy sessions to address foundation-level skills
