Jessica
Private Tutor in Bury
About Me
I am a therapeutic play practitioner who works alongside my therapy dog to offer guided therapeutic sensory play sessions to children with special educational needs. Guided therapeutic play can help children to achieve regulation through play and exploring the world through their senses. I am able to offer sensory evaluations and make recommendations for ongoing sensory input in order to promote nervous system regulation. I offer one to one sessions within my bespoke play room, as well as virtual coaching sessions.
My Experience
I have almost 30 years experience supporting children with special educational needs including autism, ADHD and SEMH needs. I have worked extensively with looked after children, post-looked after children, adoptees and their families. I have worked within schools, respite centres and SEND schools alongside private practise.
I combine a wealth of SEND support experience with extensive knowledge of early childhood trauma, and how that may affect a child's ability to regulate their nervous system. This allows me to evaluate each individual child's sensory processing style and make recommendations which are tailored to their unique circumstances.
