How Therapy Bus Can Support Your School?

Phil Shoubridge - Parent
Therapy bus took a look at my youngest while at primary school. With considerable care they worked with the school and us to find out what caused his issues at school. What caused his anxiety in the classroom. They were able to make last year at primary school much less stressful, and gave us a comprehensive report for us to take into secondary school which gave the SenCo all his needs while there.
His transition to secondary school would have been a nightmare without Emma and Luke's help.
They both made our child very comfortable and happy with the assessment they did.
Can't recommend highly enough, Emma and Luke are fantastic.
Sarah Adams - School SENCO
Luke has been been working with our school by providing assesments and advice for specific pupils. Lukes advice has always been great, he also understands the challenges within schools and his recommendations can fit practically into the school day. The reports that Luke writes for us are of a high standard and are sent through very quickly. I would recommend the Therapy bus to other schools.
Mrs Tindi - School SENCO
"The Therapy Bus carried out some assessments within our school this week. Luke was friendly, professional and knowledgeable. We received our reports through quickly and are looking forward to working with the Therapy Bus Again"
