T H A L A S S O P H I L E

- Someone who has a deep love and connection to the sea or ocean.

If you feel calm by the coast, love the sound of waves, or are happiest near the water, you might be a true thalassophile.🌊

Are you a thalassophile, or more of a land-lover? 🌍

Therapist Jade kicked off the week by delivering a full-day training session to a whole school team, covering sensory integration, gestalt language processing, and intensive interaction.

Despite the snowy weather, the learning kept flowing - helped along by a training suite transformed into Downing Street (yes, really!) and a sweet shop for those much-needed sugar boosts to keep everyone alert and engaged.
Thank you to the Lion Quays Resort for hosting us 🍬

A snowy day, lots of learning, and plenty of enthusiasm all round.❄️📚

C R A P U L A T E

- To feel unwell after overindulgence in food or drink.

That sluggish, over-full feeling after too many treats? That’s to crapulate! A word that feels especially relevant at this time of year…

Who’s still feeling a little crapulated after this festive season? 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♂️

Frosty days & blue skies = perfect Walk & Talk weather!

Therapist Laura’s student kicked things off brilliantly by using a picture to ask for a break and choose a walk - amazing communication in action! 💬

Meanwhile, Therapist Jade embraced the chill with a cold but gorgeous Walk & Talk session. Moving your body is such a powerful way to boost communication… so walk, bounce, climb, dance - whatever makes them happy and connected. 💛

A frosty field, bright blue skies, and one perfectly iced leaf - winter magic. ❄️✨
