Roundway Centre Opening Soon

We are excited to be opening our newly refurbed Roundway Centre for appointments in March with the options of online and face-to-face consultations.

Many families have found the online video conference appointments more convenient as there is no need to travel and many of our assessments are already adapted to online delivery.

Young people often find online appointments more comfortable as they can participate from the comforts of their own home or we can arrange to meet online in school.

For younger children, we ask parents to send video clips of interaction of their child in play or daily routines, for example, snack time, interaction games and play with bubbles, toys and motivating objects with an adult.

This forms the basis of a detailed video analysis where we can observe the child’s strengths, emerging skills and areas for development.

We have standardised assessment instruments that build a profile from the video analysis and together with the parental history, forms the basis of a diagnosis, recommendations of need and intervention plan.

Therapy intervention is also available online meeting with the young person or reviewing video clips for parental feedback and planning intervention goals.

Our team are experts in their field of specialism delivering the most up to date evidence-based practice through close collaboration and joint working with the University of Manchester.

Get the most out of your day at home and school

We use positive individual strategies to enable the best interaction, relationships and reduce secondary stress and anxiety; to improve quality of life for the individual person, their family and their interactions with others in their life.

We help children, individual young people and their parents define their goals and objectives in therapy sessions.

We work within individual schedules, making appointments mutually agreeable and accessible to all.

We help children and young people with their understanding of the complex, often confusing invisible rules of interaction and communication.

We listen to patterns of their thinking and beliefs and help them align their understanding with other people’s communication and intentions. It helps in addressing the problems with understanding people’s communication, building more confidence to interact.

We identify the individual motivation, aspirations and needs, delivering individualised pathways to better interaction and communication in all settings.

We help underpin the causes of emotional burden, stress and anxiety that are causing life changing issues and bring about better self-awareness and helpful strategies.

We help you embrace your life in the way it is meant to be.

 

Looking for help is a sign of strength

Individual treatment is often termed ‘therapy’ and is meant to help people with their social communication issues, which can vary in range, from and severity. The main aim of therapy is to change the quality of life by defining the individual profile and path to interaction, socialisation, learning and bringing about better clarity and understanding. Whether it is the problem of establishing interaction, shared engagement, forming and maintaining friendships, or access to learning, a professional therapist can help you through systematic and individual intervention delivered at home and/or school where it is most convenient to you.

There are many social communication issues that become enduring and difficult to address. With time, these issues can transform into barriers that impact negatively on our daily life, such as concentration, self-esteem, ability to relate, engage and flexibly change and adapt to others, and so on. These issues can spiral into our lives in various ways and gets channelled into other zones, which can create problems in friendships, relationships, school, our lives, and our emotional and physical health.

We address the root cause of the problem after carefully listening the parents, children, and young people, and help in changing the pattern of interaction and engagement to bring about a better adjustment and alignment to the individual. We follow the scientific evidence-based practice guidelines to help the person be themselves, whilst bring about better self-awareness, adjustment and understanding.
