What does a session look like?
We provide personalised one-on-one therapy sessions. Sessions that are tailored to the specific needs and goals of each individual and your family.
For children and adults with Cerebral Palsy, we might start with identifying where and why you are over using or relying on stereotypical movement patterns. Repeating the same movement, or simplifying movements, avoiding movement, stiffening joints, using mass patterns- we recognise these as ways to avoid more complex coordination that requires skills you can’t rely on.
When we understand the reason behind how you move we can provide support to give opportunities for you to experiment with more complex coordinations.
A MAES Therapy philosophy "we want every child to have many ways to approach one problem, not one way to approach many problems".
It could be stereotypical behaviours we see, avoiding social interactions that require responses that touch on skills you can’t rely on.
Being busy and on the go can be less of a choice and more of a need to avoid the anxiety inducing quiet and stillness that you feel when between activities.
We will understand, with you, the reason for the limitations you face. We can then give just the right support to enable you to explore beyond the restrictions
Support for some is physical scaffolding, for others it's reducing the complexity of the environment, interaction or pressures of achieving within an activity. For many it's a mixture of all of those and more. We will discover what the right scaffolding is for you, to enable you to keep learning and exploring
Where do sessions take place?
We invite most people to join us in our Clinic space. We find it's easier to challenge yourself in a space that you associate with learning rather than your own home.
We also do visits to support children in schools and nursery's, to guide and integrate the philosophy of learning you practice with us into those environments.

Who are sessions for?
Anyone who wants to know more about themselves or their children. How and why we move how we move, think how we think, play, communicate and interact the way we do.
To explore how we can grow and develop with more balance and ease. Laying and supporting the foundations we rely on as we journey through our lives.
