🌱 Early Intervention Program
In our early intervention work, we draw from a range of approaches that support foundational development in a natural and engaging way.
This includes elements from Search and Teach, Orton–Gillingham, and Rx for Discovery Math, along with inputs from Audiblox, play-based work, sensory experiences, and movement-based activities inspired by Brain Gym.
At this stage, the focus is not on formal teaching, but on building readiness.
So everything we do is hands-on and experience-based. Children are moving, exploring, engaging, and gradually making sense of what they are being exposed to.
Movement plays an important role in this phase.
Simple, intentional activities that involve the body often have a direct impact on how a child attends, processes, and engages — which in turn supports early reading, spelling, and comprehension.
There is structure in what is offered, but it does not feel rigid.
The aim is to support attention, engagement, early literacy and numeracy, and the ability to participate in learning — in a way that feels natural to the child.
🌿 Educational Therapy Program
In our Educational Therapy work, we follow a framework that we have come to call The Squarepegs WayTM.
This has developed over years of working closely with children and understanding what actually makes a difference in the long run.
It integrates strategies from multiple approaches, including Orton–Gillingham, Sounds in Syllables, Search and Teach, NILD Educational Therapy, Rx for Discovery Math, Feuerstein’s Instrumental Enrichment, Six Bricks, Audiblox, and sensory-based work, along with concepts drawn from Montessori, Waldorf, and Reggio Amelia.
Movement continues to be an important part of this work as well.
We use elements inspired by Brain Gym to support regulation, attention, and integration — all of which directly impact how a child reads, writes, and understands.
For some children, we may also bring in gentle body-based work, including elements of craniosacral therapy and sound-based practices, where it supports regulation and overall engagement with learning.
Each of these informs the work — but none of them are followed in isolation.
What remains consistent is how the work is done.
It is structured, but not rigid.
It is hands-on and multisensory.
It is built around doing, experiencing, and understanding — not memorising.
We focus on building underlying skills — in reading, writing, math, attention, processing, and organisation — so that learning becomes more accessible and sustainable for the child.
Everything is broken down, made tangible, and built step by step.
Across both programs, the intention remains the same —
to use what works, adapt what is needed, and build learning in a way that truly stays with the child.
