Key Elements of Our Person-Centred Approach:

1. Holistic Assessment and Individualized Planning: We begin with a thorough assessment process that considers the whole child, including their emotional, social, educational, and physical needs. This enables us to create a personalized support plan that addresses specific challenges while leveraging each child’s strengths.

2. Collaborative Multi-Disciplinary Approach: Our team comprises experienced professionals from various fields, including educational psychologists, occupational therapists, speech and language therapists, and SEN coordinators. We work collaboratively with parents, caregivers, and the children themselves to ensure that all perspectives are considered, promoting a shared vision for the child's development.

3. Empowering Children and Families: Central to our approach is the active involvement of children and their families in every step of the support process. We prioritize listening to their voices, respecting their choices, and ensuring they play an active role in setting goals and making decisions about the support and services they receive. This empowerment builds confidence and fosters resilience in both children and their families.

4. Inclusive Education and Environment: We are dedicated to creating an environment that is not only physically accessible but also emotionally supportive. We work closely with mainstream and special educational settings to ensure that children with SEN can participate fully in school life, with appropriate adaptations and support to meet their individual needs.

5. Ongoing Monitoring and Responsive Adjustment: Understanding that the needs of children with SEN can evolve, we emphasize continuous monitoring and evaluation. Regular reviews and feedback sessions with all stakeholders allow us to adapt support plans as necessary, ensuring that the services provided remain relevant and effective.

6. Evidence-Based Interventions: We implement therapeutic services and educational interventions grounded in the latest research. By staying informed about advancements in the field, we ensure that our methods are not only effective but also innovative and forward-thinking.

7. Fostering Independence and Life Skills: Our ultimate goal is to equip children with the skills they need to navigate their world with independence and confidence. Through targeted interventions and life skills training, we help them develop the capabilities necessary for a successful transition into adulthood.

8. Commitment to Continuous Professional Development: Our staff is dedicated to maintaining the highest standards of care through ongoing professional development. We invest in regular training and learning opportunities to ensure our team remains up-to-date with the latest developments in SEN support and therapeutic practices.

At Gifted Hands Acre, we believe that every child deserves the opportunity to thrive. Our person-centred approach to SEN support and therapeutic services is designed to ensure that each child receives the individualized care and attention they need to flourish, both now and in the future. We are committed to making a positive and lasting impact on the lives of the children and families we serve.
