Testimonials

Care, Education and Treatment Review meeting panel chair:

"Kate, your passion for meeting individuals sensory needs in a person-centered manner really shone through and your subject knowledge was quite simply exemplary. 
We (the panel) unanimously agreed that you were the best sensory OT at any ward we had seen during the course of our hundreds if not thousands of combined reviews. We wish there was one of you in every ward that supported autistic people.

 

So this is simply a thank you and a recognition of what you do. It is noticed. It is appreciated. It is making a huge difference."

Parent:

"We were desperate. X had largely closed down communication with us and was in a terrible dark place. She was self-harming on a near daily basis. All her hope was gone.
Kate's meetings with X were better than we could have expected. X doesn't normally open up to people easily. But even after their first session I could sense that X had engaged. Each session helped give X new tools and ideas of coping strategies that could help her not only stay safe but actually prevent things 'kicking off' at all.
The biggest one by far is how she copes with stress overload.,..her self harming has changed. It was daily when Kate first engaged with X and now it's just not like that. This is massive. X now knows that she can make choices to avoid going into the red zone. She has even come to us asking for help to avoid it. She is coping better at school and rather than missing multiple lessons every day she is managing to stay in the majority. She is exploding less at home which is great. 

 I was concerned that X might take her life but right now I think Kate's work has opened a new path for her.

Young person:

"Thank you for helping me to create my Zones care plan. It is the most helpful thing/piece of work I've ever done."
