Intellectual Disabilities

Examples of Therapies Used

At Unbound Minds, we personalise therapy based on each child’s unique needs. Here are some examples of therapies that may be used:

• Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT): Helps children develop problem-solving skills, improve emotional regulation, and manage challenging behaviours.
• Behavioural Therapy: Uses structured techniques to encourage positive behaviours and reduce maladaptive behaviours, focusing on reinforcement and skill-building.
• Play Therapy: Utilises play to help children express their feelings, understand their experiences, and develop healthier behaviours and coping mechanisms.
• Social Skills Training: Teaches children how to interact appropriately with peers and adults, enhancing their social interactions and relationships.
• Parent Training and Support: Provides parents with strategies to support their child’s development and manage behaviours at home, fostering a supportive environment.

Our therapy methods are designed to enhance cognitive skills, improve adaptive behaviours, and build resilience. Family involvement is a key component of our approach, ensuring that parents are equipped to support their child’s development.
