Therapy Programmes — The Ark Centre

Pre-School Therapy Programmes

At The Ark Centre we know the importance of early years intervention for children with additional needs, but we recognise that each child is unique. We believe a treatment programme that is tailored to a child’s specific requirements is the most effective. All children at our centre attend 5 therapy sessions per week and the centre is open to provide therapy for 51 weeks of the year.

Parents have the option of three different packages of therapy, all of which are run by our experienced, specially trained team of therapists. All packages make use of the principles of behaviour therapy.

Multidisciplinary Programme

(Recommended)

We recommend a multidisciplinary package for most of the children that join us at The Ark Centre. The package uses a combination of predominantly one-to-one Behaviour Therapy, Occupational Therapy (OT) sessions and Speech and Language Therapy (SLT) sessions. Our Behaviour Therapists run OT and SLT sessions daily in addition to the direct OT and SLT sessions.

Behaviour Therapy Programme ‘Plus One

For children that do not require a full multidisciplinary programme, we offer a package of behaviour therapy with the choice of either OT or SLT sessions included.

Stand-Alone Behaviour Therapy

This package is suitable for children who may not require either OT or SLT therapy sessions.

We will consult with parents to establish a child’s individual needs to determine which package would be most suitable. Once a package has been selected, our therapists will complete all relevant assessments to establish a baseline and set individual targets for the child’s programme. These targets are reviewed after each therapy session, and we complete full reviews of each child’s programme, with parents, on a half-termly basis.
