Our therapy department supports a wide range of therapies, interventions and strategies (see ‘Breadth of therapies and interventions’ below and ‘Our Flower: a visual representation of the curriculum vision’ above). In practice, our staff encourage skills such as playfulness, curiosity and independent thinking. During activities staff place emphasis on developing communication skills, attention and focus. The importance of expanding children’s understanding and ability to communicate their emotions is recognised. ‘Zones of regulation’ strategies are used to develop the young person’s understanding as well as their ability to make better choices, which in-turn improves self-regulation (See Appendix II ‘Introduction to Overley Hall Therapy and Interventions’).
