Who can carry out individual interventions?

A member of our team can personally carry out the intervention, or train a member of your school. In some cases intervention training may be passed on to a parent or carer so the intervention can be continued at home, we will make this clear for each intervention.

Our specialist team of psychologists can design and carry out interventions through using their comprehensive knowledge and experience of special educational needs, interventions and psychology. In order to make our service as cost effective as possible for schools, interventions can also be delivered by our assistant psychologists. Our assistant psychologists have had extensive education, training and receive supervision.

What happens during an individual intervention?

Individual interventions can be formal programmes or bespoke specifically for the child or young person’s individual needs. In addition to teaching subject specific knowledge, an intervention supports the use of psychological strategies which can be transferred into the individual’s wider life.

What happens after an individual intervention?

Feedback will take place after an intervention to review the impact of our input as well as measuring progress. During the review we will discuss options such as: continuing the intervention, integrating the new skills into the classroom, or further work with the child or young person.

Interventions are available to all abilities of children and young people and bring many benefits to the individual, staff and school as a whole. To find out about how our interventions can help children or young people at your school, please contact us now to talk to one of our team.
