Teachers - Are you struggling to support some students?

Do you have students who are struggling to learn despite your best efforts, or have behaviours that alienate them from others? 
 
There may be a physical, cognitive, or sensory problem causing the issue.  Allied Health Professionals can often help manage such issues.

Here’s an example of a child we've helped. You may recognise or be experiencing similar issues.

James at age 6 was:
​

• finding it hard to sit and listen
• having difficulty with handwriting
• having issues throwing, catching and kicking a ball
• finding literacy and numeracy difficult
• hard to understand, as his speech was unclear
• having problems following instructions
• not interacting with the other children

 
Therapy Professionals Ltd's Therapists helped by:
 

• identifying the causes of James’s difficulties
• providing cost effective practical everyday solutions and strategies
• making a plan with the teacher and family and helped them put it in place
• sourcing equipment

---

The therapist helped the teacher and family understand the causes of James’s difficulties. They assisted them to slowly put the strategies into place. These strategies made a significant difference to James’s ability to concentrate and attend to tasks. His learning improved at school and at home. Interactions with his peers improved significantly too.
