The school has a well-established and highly specialist on-site therapy team. Our transdisciplinary team deliver an outstanding and highly effective service to support our children and young people. Our teaching staff, support and care staff and therapists work together every day.
The multidisciplinary approach ensures that we can provide a bespoke package of intervention to meet the ever changing needs of our students. Therapeutic approaches and interventions are embedded into the daily lives of our students and form part of their waking day curriculum.
Specialist interventions on offer include but are not limited to: Intervention using the Sensory Integration approach, Lego Therapy, Therapeutic Listening, Rebound Therapy, Sensory circuits, Schools Massage programme, Social communication groups, language groups and The Bridges curriculum.
We’ve put in place some exciting collaborative therapies at Helen Allison. Our speech and language and occupational therapists have identified children’s sensory needs and prescribed a sensory diet where appropriate. We have used this alongside an innovative programme of Therapeutic Listening®. Many students also benefit from daily sensory circuits to alert, organise and focus them for the day ahead.
Our aim is to equip every pupil with strategies to overcome their barriers to learning; to nurture each young person’s talents and interests and to develop their self-esteem and well-being. We are committed to ensuring that children’s’ anxieties and sensory differences are recognised, understood and fully supported.

Our values
We learn from real experience. We’ve spent over 50 years working together with people on the autism spectrum. No one has more practical knowledge of autism. But we move with the times and we understand that there’s always more to learn.
We tell it like it is. We share what we have learned about autism, so that more people can make informed decisions and lead the best lives possible.
We inspire. We celebrate progress, open up new possibilities, spur people into action and motivate change.
We are courageous. We won’t accept ignorance or inequality, and we’ll never stop pushing for more understanding, greater support and a better world for people on the autism spectrum.
