Our approach

Enabling Hands uses a play-based, child-led philosophy grounded in DIR/Floortime and neuroaffirming practice. Sessions follow the child's interests and focus on building regulation, engagement, communication, and social-emotional development through meaningful interactions and warm, positive play. The therapist joins the child in play, creating shared experiences where children learn to connect, communicate, problem-solve, and participate more confidently in daily life. For younger children, parent-child relationally informed intervention may be used, which coaches parents to notice their child's cues and use play-based strategies during everyday routines. The service is strengths-based and collaborative, working with families to reach their goals.

Working with families

Family involvement is central to the service, particularly through parent-child relationally informed intervention which coaches parents to notice their child's cues and use play-based strategies during everyday routines. The therapist communicates with families collaboratively and uses a strengths-based approach, working together to reach goals and help children develop meaningful skills in daily life. The service emphasises supporting carers and families as part of the intervention process, recognising that children learn best within relationships and routines at home.
