MDT Collaboration: Work collaboratively with teachers, teaching assistants, speech and language therapists, and families to embed therapy goals into the daily curriculum.
Staff Training: Deliver hands-on training and practical guidance to classroom teams, empowering them to implement physical and sensory programmes consistently.
Resource Management: Recommend appropriate therapeutic equipment and sensory resources, managing the allocated therapy budget effectively.
