Tree Tops Children's Occupational Therapy also have two support groups.

Sensory Processing Disorder Parent Support Group North East England -the group meet every 4-6 weeks giving parents a chance to talk openly and privately about the children, swapping tips and strategies whilst enjoying light refreshments. They also organise events with the children and their siblings. If you would like more information please contact spdpsgnee@gmail.com. You can also find out what's happening with the group by visiting the Parent Support Group News section of our site. Do go along as the group are very friendly and will be more than happy to welcome you at one of their meetings or even via tehir closed Facebook page.

Impact Youth Group - launched in December 2016, the group was created for young adults aged 15+ who are socially shy/anxious, low self-esteem and are low on confidence, in the hope that its members would chat confidentially with other members. They have a secret Facebook group, which is monitored by DBS checked adults who encourage friendly chat between the young people who struggle to make friends. The group is invite only and the aims are; to share information and experiences and which it also offers support. Group meetings will also take place to encourage members to meet and develop social skills through interaction with one another. For more information or to join the group email: impactyouthgroup18@gmail.com

Our Mascot, Fizzwig helps all our children at Tree Tops and is a popular member of the team. We also have several smaller teddy bears that we hand out to the children who look after them for a week whilst they are conducting their home programmes. This encourages them to have fun whilst improving their motor skills, sensory difficulties, feeding or sleep.

If a child/young adult has difficulties with their sensory/motor development, they will struggle to learn and find life very challenging at home, school and in the working environment. By attending treatment sessions and working on the sensory motor components, we can help a person to be in the "right gear" for learning and attain better results.

Check out our website and see the testimonials from our families and schools that show how passionate we are in helping the wider community. Tree Tops also has a parent support group and youth support group which are vital links to our families and schools.
