Paediatric Occupational Therapy Services at Neon Ireland

Occupational Therapy Assessments:
Traditional:
€575
A comprehensive evaluation for children who might be Dyspraxic/DCD or who require
accommodations in school like Assistive Technology.
This assessment includes standardised assessments to explore fine and gross motor skills,
sensory processing, visual perception, handwriting, executive functioning and other relevant
areas.
A full written report and parent feedback session are included.

Child Led:
€495
This assessment is observational and play based.
It includes parents and teacher questionnaires and a follow up call with schools/creches, a
child led, play based Ot assessment over three different appointments and a detailed written
report, helping you understand your child’s nervous system, regulation needs and how to
best support them in school, at home and other important environments. A parent feedback
session is included.

One to One OT intervention:
€70 (50min)
These sessions include tailored goals achieved through fun and engaging activities. One to one sessions are strengths focused, child led and neuroaffirming. We can help your child feel empowered in their autonomy, work on regulation skills and help with executive functioning skills.

OT Club:
A fun and playful club where children can develop gross and fine motor skills, sensory and emotional regulation, build confidence and make friends. While exploring different regulation activities the children will learn about their bodies, nervous systems and emotions in a no pressure way that will always value all their experiences.
Smaller group sizes will ensure every child will get the attention they deserve.

Two approaches to primary education. Two very different experiences. 💛

🏫 Traditional Irish Primary School
👉 Whole class moves at the same pace
👉 Curriculum is fixed and standardised
👉 Teacher leads, children follow
👉 Sitting still is expected and rewarded
👉 Success is measured by tests and grades
👉 Same day, same structure, every day

🌱 Montessori Primary Education
👉 Each child moves at their own pace
👉 Learning is tailored to the individual child
👉 Children lead, teachers guide
👉 Movement is welcomed and encouraged
👉 Success is measured by growth and curiosity
👉 Freedom within a thoughtful, prepared environment

For most children, traditional education works well. But for neurodivergent children who learn differently, feel overwhelmed easily, or simply need a different pace — Montessori can be transformative. 💛

At NEON Ireland, we are building a Montessori-informed, regulation-first independent school for exactly those children.

“They just need more discipline.” 🚫

If we had a euro for every time a neurodivergent child was told this — or their parents were — we would have a lot of euros.

The truth?
A child who is dysregulated is not being bold. They are not being difficult. Their nervous system is overwhelmed and they need support, not punishment. 💛

A regulation-first approach recognises this. It meets the child where they are. It asks — what does this child need right now to feel safe? — before anything else.

And the results speak for themselves. Calmer children. More connected families. Real, lasting progress. 🌱

This is the approach at the heart of NEON Ireland. And we wouldn’t have it any other way.

At NEON Ireland, every space will be created through an occupational therapy lens. That means:

🌿 Regulation zones — calm spaces to settle and reset

🎨 Art, music, and movement woven throughout the day

🧩 Sensory areas designed to meet each child’s needs

📚 All of the materials and tools needed to thrive

This will not be a traditional classroom. It will be a living, breathing environment that says to every child who walks through the door — you are safe here. You belong here. You can be yourself here. 💛

At NEON Ireland, our school will be organised into three age groups — and the way we have structured them is very intentional. 🌱

🌟 Preschool — 3 to 6 years old (opening in year two)
🌟 Junior Primary — 6 to 9 years old
🌟 Senior Primary — 9 to 12 years old

Mixed age groups are at the heart of the Montessori approach — and for neurodivergent children, they are transformative.

Older children will become natural mentors. Younger children will learn by watching and by asking. Social skills won’t be taught in isolation — they will be lived, every single day, in a community where every child has something to offer and something to gain. 💛

People sometimes ask us — what happens when neurodivergent children leave a neuro-affirming school and go out into the wider world? 🌍

Here is what happens.

You get confident young adults who know exactly who they are. Who know what they need. Who know how to advocate for themselves. Who go out into the world and find their place in it — on their own terms.
Children who are understood grow into adults who flourish. 💛

The ones who struggle most in adult life are not those who were supported too much. They are the ones who spent years being told, in a hundred subtle ways, that who they are is not quite right.

NEON Ireland exists to make sure fewer children carry that weight.

School is life.

It is a real, living, breathing part of every child’s childhood — not a rehearsal, not a waiting room.

Every child deserves to experience those years with joy, with dignity, and with a genuine sense of belonging.

At NEON Ireland we are not preparing children for something that comes later. We are building a community where they can thrive right now — known, valued, and supported exactly as they are.

Right now is enough. Right now is everything. 💛
