The young people in Palm Class have made excellent progress this academic year, developing their social and play skills through child-led play.

Over the year, through parallel play, turn-taking games and shared group experiences, the group of young people aged in their early to mid-teens have shown sustained participation and real enjoyment alongside their peers.

Staff working in the class have been modelling positive interactions and offering gentle encouragement, leading to young people and staff sharing plenty of genuine enjoyment together along the way.

It all adds up to something meaningful. The young people in Palm Class have shown clear progression towards their therapy goals.
