A child who sometimes can focus isn’t being defiant when they can’t. Their nervous system is working overtime to process sights, sounds, movement, and emotions.. and when that system becomes overwhelmed, attention and behaviour naturally shift.

In paediatric occupational therapy, we look beneath the surface to understand what’s really going on:
✨ Are certain classroom noises triggering sensory overload?
✨ Does their body need more movement before sitting still?
✨ Is emotional regulation or anxiety making focus harder?

By supporting sensory and regulation needs first, we help children access the calm, organised state needed for learning and connection, so focus becomes easier and more consistent.

💙 At Future Steps, our in-depth occupational therapy assessments look beyond behaviour to uncover the sensory, motor, and emotional needs driving it.

We’re using a ‘vibrating bug’ in our school OT session today.. perfect for calming, regulating, and providing sensory input when your child needs it most. These little tools are great for focus, stress relief, and tactile exploration.

At Future Steps, we use lots of different tools and activities to support sensory regulation.. from swings and weighted toys to fidget tools and creative play. Every child’s plan is tailored to their needs.

Sometimes, it’s not just a phase; it’s a sensory story we can work on together. From messy play and different textures to noisy environments, OT helps children build confidence, self-regulation, and coping strategies. Every step is child-led, safe, and tailored to your child’s needs, so they can explore the world at their own pace and feel more comfortable along the way. 💙

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.
