We carry out work within schools as well as therapies with children and their families. Some limited assessment slots are also available. Dr Clare Caughey is an Educational Psychologist and Special Educational Needs teacher based in Belfast. She has created SENsations NI in order to provide affordable access to educational psychology support for pupils with SEN. The service now consists of Clare (
psychologist), Sharon (Behaviour Therapist), Leigh (Speech and Language Therapist), Helen (specialist early years teacher), Sue (office manager) and Deborah (youth support). At SENsations NI we provide educational psychology assessments which help to identify conditions such as Dyslexia, Autistic Spectrum Disorders, ADHD, and other learning difficulties. In addition SENsations provide regular parent training sessions in a variety of areas to help parents with the everyday management of their child's needs. Training areas include overviews of learning disabilities (such as Down's Syndrome, Autism, Dyslexia etc), practical strategies to support behaviour management, homework support for pupils with Dyslexia/Dyscalculia, use of I-pad technology to support learners, toilet training & sex education for learners with Autism etc. Specialising in behaviour management and Severe Learning Difficulties, SENsations NI can tailor a package of support to your family's needs, including home intervention support for behaviour, individual or group intervention in areas such as counselling, relaxation and social skills. After school and recreational opportunities for pupils with learning difficulties include sensory stories and play for individuals with complex needs.
