Assessments can be performed as standardised or observational to suit the needs of the client. A full report will be written with the results of the assessment, as well as bespoke therapeutic strategies that can be used at both home and school. Assessment methods types are as follows:
Standardised
Clinical observations (semi standardised)
Observations in play
This includes discussion with parents and carers. Online sensory profiles assess how the young person is processing their environment. Once difficulties are highlighted, our Occupational Therapist creates a bespoke therapy programme for both home and school/nursery to alleviate symptoms the young person may be experiencing. Identifying the WHY to a young person’s behaviour can be incredibly valuable in understanding their needs and therefore adjustments to support them can be put in place. We currently have space in our Monday Pre-school Social groups.

Sensys Summer Sensory Tip! 🦜🌞

For many children, putting on sun cream is more than jus☀️ Sensyt a quick job before heading outside... it can be a real sensory challenge.

Light touch, unfamiliar smells, sticky textures, and having to stop playing can all feel overwhelming, especially for children with sensory processing differences.

The good news is that a few simple changes can make a huge difference! 💛

This week, Sensy is sharing some practical Occupational Therapy tips to help make sun cream time calmer, easier, and a lot less stressful for everyone.

Remember, every child is different. If one strategy doesn't work, try another until you find what works best for your child.

Do you have a sun cream tip that's worked for your family? We'd love to hear it in the comments! 🌞👇

Could Your Business Change a Child's Future?

At Chattersense, we work with children and young people who face daily challenges due to autism, ADHD, sensory processing differences, developmental delay, Down syndrome, anxiety, and other additional support needs.

Every week we meet children who would benefit enormously from specialist occupational therapy, but whose families simply cannot afford ongoing support.

We're looking for local businesses, organisations, or individuals who would be willing to sponsor a child's therapy session.

⭐ £45 funds one therapy session
⭐ £180 funds one month of support
⭐ £2,340 funds a full year of life-changing therapy

Your sponsorship could help a child:
✔ Develop communication skills
✔ Build confidence and independence
✔ Improve emotional regulation
✔ Participate more fully at home, school, and in their community
✔ Reach goals that may otherwise feel out of reach

In return, we'll recognise your business as a Chattersense Community Therapy Partner and keep you updated on the difference your support is making (while maintaining complete confidentiality for the child and family).

We know times are challenging for many businesses, but sometimes one small commitment can have a huge impact on a child's future.

If you or your organisation would like to discuss sponsoring a child's therapy journey, please send me a message or email us at [insert email].

Please share this post to help us reach businesses that believe every child deserves the opportunity to thrive.

🎈 Can Play Really Be an Assessment? Absolutely!

When most people think about an assessment, they imagine questions, tests, checklists, and sitting at a table.

For many children, especially those who are neurodivergent, the most valuable information comes when they are relaxed, engaged, and simply being themselves.

Through play, occupational therapists can observe so much more than a child's ability to complete a task. We can see how they move their body, respond to sensory information, solve problems, communicate, interact with others, regulate their emotions, and navigate challenges.

A swing can tell us about balance and vestibular processing.
A climbing frame can reveal motor planning and body awareness.
A game can show attention, social skills, emotional regulation, and problem-solving.
Even a child's choice of activity can provide important clues about their sensory preferences and needs.

Play allows us to see the child, not just the challenge.

At Chattersense, we use carefully scaffolded play opportunities to build a picture of how a child experiences and interacts with their world. This helps us identify strengths, understand difficulties, and create meaningful goals that support everyday life.

Because sometimes the most powerful assessments don't look like assessments at all—they look like play.
