“A child centred therapy service empowering you to support children and young people to move, communicate and function.”

We provide a service to those children and families who are registered with a Somerset GP.

Many children will need assessment and advice only. For those who remain open to the service we will support those around  the child or young person to work with them to improve their skills. Where possible activities will be recommended which can be part of everyday routines as we recognise that the people who know the child best will have the biggest impact.

The Children and Young People’s Therapy Service works in episodes of care and children may come in and out of the service at different points in their lives.

Children will be discharged when;
* advice about ways to support difficulties has been given
* strategies to continue to develop skills are in place
* the child’s needs are likely to remain the same over a period of time.
