Motherland's Anna Maxwell Martin is urging the government to reverse “cruel” cuts to a vital therapy fund for adopted children.

23/10/2025

The government has postponed the release of its white paper on SEND reform until early 2026, instead of this autumn. The paper is expected to outline major changes to how support for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities is funded and delivered. Ministers say the delay allows for further consultation with parents, professionals and local authorities. However, some council leaders have expressed concern that the postponement could increase pressure on already stretched SEND services.

Plans had been expected this autumn but government wants more time to build support for changes

🌟 A Special Request from Us 🌟

This post is a little different from our usual updates, but it’s one we felt was important to share.

Ben and his lovely family are going through an incredibly difficult time. After three years of gruelling treatment, Ben’s cancer has continued to grow and spread. He’s now pursuing a new treatment route; one that isn’t available through the NHS, and it comes with significant costs.

If you’re able to support Ben’s journey, any donation, no matter the size, would mean the world. And if donating isn’t possible, a simple share of his fundraising page can make a huge difference too. 💕

Thank you so much for taking a moment to read and support. Your kindness truly does make a difference. 💫

Iʼm raising money to Support Ben Shepherd in his battle with Cancer. Support this JustGiving Crowdfunding Page.

We post a lot here… but we don’t always talk about what we actually do as a therapy service.

We are Children’s Sensory Therapy, and together with Synchrony Psychology, we’re based at the Midlands Child and Family Therapy Centre in Aslockton, Nottinghamshire.

Our Occupational Therapists support children who are neurodivergent or have experienced early life trauma, both of which can deeply affect the nervous system. A child’s sensory world can feel out of sync, making daily life, regulation and independence more difficult.

The Children's Sensory Therapy Ltd team (all trained or training in Sensory Integration) works to understand and support sensory processing, helping children feel safer, more regulated and more themselves. We’re never trying to change a child; we work on what matters to them, and we believe it’s our job as adults to build the environments and support they need.

We work with families seeking support, and those referred by local authorities, the NHS, post adoption and foster agencies, special schools and mainstream schools. Our work includes:
✨ Special school support
✨ EHCP work
✨ Commissioned and specialist services- Sensory Integration and Sensory Attachment Work/ Trauma Informed Sensory Processing
✨ Clinic-based sessions
✨ Community work

We meet children where they are; in clinic, at school, at home or out in the community, and always with compassion, curiosity and care at the heart of what we do.

Synchrony Psychology is a team of mixed professionals – including clinical psychologists, mental health social workers, and art therapists – who bring together a range of expertise to support children and families. Although we are a separate company, sharing the same space enables close collaboration with our therapy team, allowing us to work in harmony and offer truly joined-up, holistic support.

We know we have already shared this news, but we wanted to take a moment to revisit it, because we are so pleased and proud to have been shortlisted as a finalist in the East Midlands Chamber - Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire Business Awards 2025/26.

This recognition means a great deal to us, as it reflects the heart of what we do and the values that guide every part of our work.

When we talk about sensory, we are talking about how our brains and bodies interpret and respond to the world around us. For many neurodivergent children, and for those who have experienced developmental trauma, sensory processing often works differently. Everyday experiences can sometimes feel intense, unpredictable or overwhelming, while in other areas there may not be enough sensory feedback to feel regulated, grounded, and to complete everyday tasks.

Our approach is always child-led, play-based and grounded in respect. We do not aim to change who the child is. Instead, we support them to feel more comfortable, confident and capable in navigating their everyday lives. Our focus is on belonging rather than mere inclusion; creating environments where children do not need to mask who they are in order to participate and thrive.

Children’s Sensory Therapy began with one passionate therapist and a vision to do things differently. Eight years on, we are now a team of 23, working from our bespoke specialist clinic in Aslockton and delivering therapy and training across the Midlands and beyond.

We remain a company with a heart; values-led, evidence-informed and committed to ensuring that neurodivergent children and those who have experienced developmental trauma are understood, supported and celebrated. As we continue to grow, our focus will always stay rooted in this purpose: to create meaningful impact, deliver quality services, build understanding, and shape services that truly meet the needs of the children and families we support.

Thank you to the East Midlands Chamber for this recognition, and to all the children, families, schools and professionals who continue to be part of our journey. We are excited for what comes next.
