'Seeing’ the Child

'Seeing’ the child: observation, consultation and therapy in Waldorf school settings: What can we, as school doctors/SHP and therapists offer to make a significant and lasting difference?

What Can We, as School Doctors/SHPs and Therapists, Offer to Make a Significant and Lasting Difference?

Children present with some new challenges post covid: We see more children with symptoms of depression, anxiety and there is greater awareness of neurodiverse presentations in children. These symptoms often interfere with their learning and can negatively impact long term educational and social outcomes. As school doctors/ SHPs we are often asked to see children with behaviour issues, and those with social and developmental challenges. Early years teachers express concerns of lower levels of core skills such as skipping, drawing and rhythm appear more of a challenge in recent years.
