When a child shouts, refuses, shuts down, or has big reactions, it’s rarely about being difficult. These moments are often their way of showing that something feels too much, too loud, too busy, too fast, or simply overwhelming.

What we notice on the outside is usually linked to what’s happening underneath.

Real support starts when we pause and look beyond the reaction, rather than rushing to label it. Understanding the why helps children feel calmer, safer, and more able to manage at home, in school, and out in the world 💙

💙 At Future Steps, our in-depth occupational therapy assessments explore what’s driving these responses and create a personalised plan to support confidence, regulation, and everyday participation.

📞 Book your FREE no-obligation consultation today, we’re here to help you understand your child and how best to support them.

Think about it:
🏫 School is full of noise, movement, transitions, visual distractions, unstructured moments, social expectations, and constant shifting between tasks.

🏡 Home is predictable, familiar, quieter, and supported by the people who understand them best.

Many children use up most of their energy simply coping with the school environment, leaving very little left for listening, processing instructions, or staying regulated.

That’s where Occupational Therapy comes in.
OT helps identify what’s getting in the way.. whether it’s sensory overload, difficulty switching tasks, emotional regulation challenges, motor planning struggles, or slow processing in a fast-paced environment. And importantly, we help build the bridge between settings so your child can feel confident and capable wherever they are.

💙 At Future Steps, our comprehensive OT assessments explore how your child manages in different environments, helping you understand why home and school can look so different.. and giving you clear strategies to support both.

📞 Book your FREE no-obligation consultation today. We’re here to guide you through what your child needs to truly thrive.

Our Story

At Future Steps we offer specialised occupational therapy assessments, programmes and training for individuals from birth into adulthood, working alongside parents, carers, schools, social workers, local authorities, charities to ensure every person has the very best opportunity to reach their potential. Future Steps began in 2013, as the vision of Darlington’s own entrepreneur Julie Davis, whilst she was on holiday with her family in Stratford. Julie’s dream was to set up a service that could offer therapeutic intervention to all children, with motor and sensory difficulties, regardless of their socioeconomic background.

Future Steps is built on the passion and work ethic of all our incredible staff. We have a team of fully qualified occupational therapists including SI trained therapists and attachment and trauma trained therapists. Our therapy team is supported by a back of house team and every member is committed to making positive changes to the lives of every child and family that we treat.
