Do your clients have low scores on the SIPT Space Visualisation, Figure Ground Tests, difficulties doing items from Ayres’ Clin Obs including visual tracking and stabilising visual field?Eyegames is a great book for the therapy bookshelf- lots of ideas for fun play activities to do in the clinic, at home and school to help improve visual skills needed for successful participation in education - many will be familiar games we OT’s play in the clinic on swings with moving and fixed targets and games with bats and balloons. Lots of ideas to share with TA’s for fun in school programmes. My second copy arrived today after my first one was lent out...

Here are a few snapshots from our Open Day last Saturday, as we said farewell to Romsley Methodist Church before renovation work begins this autumn. We're excited to start a new chapter as we transform the space into our first specialist centre for Sensory Integration Therapy in the Midlands.

Thanks to the incredible support from our Open Day and Crowd Funder, we've raised nearly £2,000 so far! There's still time to get involved — the Crowd Funder remains open for another three weeks. Please help spread the word and donate if you can. Every penny will go directly towards purchasing essential specialist equipment for the new centre.
