Tree Tops has been developed with great foundations in the knowledge of assessment and treatment techniques of children. The therapists have extensive knowledge into conditions of DCD, Dyspraxia, ADHD, and Sensory Processing Disorders. Post graduate training in Sensory Integration has allowed us to introduce this specialised treatment to children on a daily basis to develop their underlying difficulties. We also have a private sensory parent support group which you are more than welcome to join.

Great fine motor Christmas activities coming up!

There's definitely something for everyone (even the golfing person)!😁

Everyone at some point over the festive period feels they need to get up and move around. Why not try some of these animal walks. They are fun and help with lots of different areas but also help increase motor planning skills (movement). 🐻🐒🐧🦆🐍🐢🦩🐾

Remember some of the animal walks are not easy! They require good motor planning so may take a while for a child to master the more complex movements. 👍

Have fun!

Harmonious or clash of sensory needs in your home - that is the question 🤔

In your household, do you have more than one person with a sensory need, especially during the festive season as there is so much going on? What are those needs and what triggers them? How do you regulate them?

Watch out for the Tree Tops team's family sensory needs!

Well, the cough and cold season has suddenly struck - no surprise there though!

Do you have a child that struggles to blow their nose? You are not alone.

Many of our SPD children find this a very challenging task. However, blowing your nose is a developmental process that you can teach.

Pop over to our website on the link below to find out more about teaching your child to blow their nose and the tricky sensory and developmental stages your child needs to be able to blow their nose.

Happy Thanksgiving to all our American followers 🇺🇸🦃

Here is a lovely activity you can use on your own or even in a group.

It will help you to slow down, feel grounded and lessen anxiety. Surprisingly, it can aid focus, sleep and improve your memory! This works by steering the nervous system from the 'fight, flight or fright' response to a calmer state 🧘‍♂️😌

Crossing the midline - how you can help 👍

When a child is unable to cross the midline, they will use both hands equally when conducting tasks.

A child may display awkward movements and position their body so they do not need to cross the body midline. It can affect:

⚫ Self-care tasks - using cutlery, tying shoelaces
⚫ Learning - tracking words on a page, moves the whole body or head rather than just the eyes
⚫. Fine motor - handwriting, drawing, cutting, hand dominance
⚫. Gross motor - jumping, skipping, hopping, swimming, football, throwing/catching

Challenges with this motor skill impact learning, social skills, play, and self-care.

Our Story

Tree Tops has been developed with great foundations in the knowledge of assessment and treatment techniques of children and adults. Our therapists have extensive knowledge into conditions such as DCD, Dyspraxia, ADHD, Attachment Disorder, and Sensory Processing Difficulties. Post graduate training in Sensory Integration has allowed us to introduce this specialised treatment to children and adults on a daily basis to develop their underlying difficulties.

Tree Tops work with many schools, charities and voluntary organisations. We can provide valuable training and programmes which helps with gross/fine motor skills, handwriting, building self-esteem, confidence, behaviour and perception.

Fizzwig (our mascot) and the Tree Topper teddy bears are a vital part of our organisation and go on many adventures with the children or help them with their programmes. Check out our website to see what they all get up to!

We also have a private sensory parent support group which you are more than welcome to join. Here is the link:- https://www.facebook.com/groups/spdpsg/ . A youth group has also been set up which is run through a secret page. If you would like more information please email our office.

Tree Tops are proud to make a difference to the ability to achieve, happiness and well-being of our children experiencing motor and sensory difficulties. The reviews and testimonials we have received ensure we continue with the service we are passionate about.

In 2019 we were asked to take part in the The Parliamentary Review. The aims of this are to share best practice amongst policymakers/business leaders, commissioning articles on events of the year and contributors’ areas of expertise. Over 1m copies will be distributed. A range of businesses from several sectors have written for this; the aim being to get their message out to the country at large, to inform policymakers, assist their peers, and ultimately raise standards. Tree Tops has contributed to the 2019 Parliamentary Review and celebrated the publication at a Gala event in the Houses of Parliament on the 4/9/19. Our article focused on understanding sensory processing difficulties (SPD), in particular the many difficulties our children experience in education from academically under-performing to anxiety/potentially exclusions. The article strives to explain how sensory processing difficulties can result in challenging behaviours and affect a child’s social/emotional well-being. Our message was to stress how effective our interventions can be within the school environment to help children access learning, but give school staff more tools to target many youngster’s complex needs. Tree Tops endeavours to educate schools to understand SPD and integrate interventions into the classroom routine. We firmly believe if Head Teachers understood that by working in partnership with Tree Tops all children would have more chance of success whilst reducing resources needed to support them in the long term.
