Types of Therapy and Specialist Support
Different therapy and specialist support services are designed for different needs. Some families may need communication support, while others may be looking for sensory support, emotional wellbeing support, play therapy, counselling, behaviour support or practical help with daily life.
This section is most relevant where families or individuals are exploring therapeutic or specialist support options, rather than formal ADHD or autism assessments, general family support or education advice.
