SERVICE DETAILS
The VIP Club is a group for children aged 0-5 years old who have additional support needs. We offer weekly structured sessions that are designed to promote the children's development.
Delivering Support
The groups we deliver seek to support each individual child’s development in a variety of ways: e.g. speech and language development; signing; listening; fine and gross motor skills; peer, child and parent interaction; sharing; turn taking; eye contact; waiting; sensory stimulation; following instructions and supporting choice. We achieve this by using a range of specific strategic approaches tailored to both the needs of the group and to each individual child.
Our groups are on a Tuesday 10:00am - 11:00am and a Thursday at 10:00am - 11:00am and 11:30am - 12:30pm
We meet during term time only at Bridgend Farmhouse.
Groups currently have limited numbers in accordance to Scottish government covid guidelines
The group begins with a short free play session to enable the children and parents time to arrive and settle into the room. Each group follows a structure which is repeated every week, this supports the children to understand the routine.
Our group sessions are delivered in 4 weeks blocks. Each block has a theme such as; festivals, weather, seasons, sensory play, colours, numbers, clothing, morning and bedtime routines, transport and messy play.
Each 4 week block introduces new signs, symbols and signifiers which are repeated throughout the groups. If there are specific topics families would like to cover, suggestions are always welcome!
We recently had a request from several families if we could focus on morning and bedtime routines. Their was lots of role playing from the children. We used a symbolled timetable for each step in the routines.
After the work is done the children sit around a table together and enjoy snack with their friends, this also gives the parents/carers the opportunity to chat.
(Please note changes to group due to covid guidelines there will be no singing within the sessions)
