Hopscotch Children's Therapy Centre

• What they offer / teach

  Hopscotch is a specialist paediatric therapy centre at 11 Gower Street, Central London, offering Occupational Therapy, Speech & Language Therapy and Ayres Sensory Integration® under one roof. OT supports skills such as dressing, writing, playing, emotional regulation and managing the school day; SLT supports speech delays, language difficulties and social communication differences; and SI therapy supports children whose nervous systems process sensory information differently. They also provide EHCP reports, outreach visits, commissioning packages, medico-legal assessments and reports, expert witness and SEND tribunal work, plus Summer Intensives (2026 registrations open).

• Ages served

  The page refers to children and young people, with Speech & Language Therapy spanning from early years to secondary school, but no specific age range is stated.

• Approach

  The practice describes itself as specialist rather than generalist: neurodiversity-affirming, child-led and evidence-based, starting from the child rather than a diagnosis. It is a leading Ayres SI® certified clinic in the UK with a certified Ayres SI® therapist and educator, uses HCPC-certified therapists, and works multidisciplinarily with OTs and SLTs planning together. Care is held by the clinic rather than one individual to ensure continuity, and the team has extensive experience of the statutory EHCP, tribunal and local authority process across London boroughs.

• Admissions

  No GP or other referral is needed and families can self-refer directly, with a response aimed at within two working days. They also accept referrals from nurseries, schools, local authorities, legal firms and NHS clinicians. Support usually starts with an assessment, though children with an existing report from another therapist, school or paediatrician containing enough clinical information may proceed directly to therapy.
