Children with developmental trauma often have great difficulty regulating their emotions and their behaviour; presenting huge challenges in supporting them effectively.
We offer consultations to parents/carers and practitioners around sensory regulation. Our "Where do we go from here?!?" consultation helps explore the next step in meeting your child's needs and the support that may be available from a range of services. For further information please see the relevant pages - parent/carer consultations or consultations for practitioners to discuss one or more cases.
Our Facebook page and website link to a range of resources.
