Parents & Allies Support Session with our Sensory Integrated Therapist
On selected Tuesdays, we offer bookable 1:1 parent and child therapy sessions with Emma Wise, TFP’s sensory integration-aware therapist.
Previously funded through grants from South Hams District Council and Devon County Council, these sensory-informed sessions support neurodivergent children, including those with Autism, ADHD and AuDHD, helping families better understand sensory needs and develop practical strategies for home and school support.
Each session includes personalised follow-up recommendations and suggested activities.
To help us continue offering these specialist-led sessions, we now ask for a suggested £20 donation per booking.
If cost is a barrier, please contact us at mail@thefidgetproject.org confidentially.
