Areas of Focus at Therapy Wood
We support children and young people across key areas of development, helping them to thrive at home, in school, and in the wider community:
Self‑Regulation & Emotional Management
• Sensory processing across all eight senses (sight, sound, touch, taste, smell, balance, body awareness, and internal awareness)
• Emotional regulation (self‑calming strategies for frustration, anxiety, stress)
• Attention and focus (maintaining concentration across settings)
Skills for Play and Learning
• Fine motor development (buttons, zips, cutlery, small objects)
• Handwriting (grip, legibility, speed, stamina)
• Organisation and planning (executive function skills for homework, routines, and daily tasks)
Physical & Motor Coordination
• Gross motor skills (balance, strength, confidence in play and sports)
• Motor planning (sequencing and carrying out new or complex movements)
Independence in Daily Living
• Dressing (fasteners, sequencing steps)
• Feeding skills (using cutlery, managing textures, safe mealtime routines)
• Personal hygiene (washing, brushing teeth, toileting independence)
