Understand the person, to understand the behaviour.
Specialist multidisciplinary training and consultancy in SEN, neurodiversity and behaviour.
SENtred NI brings together Behaviour Therapy, Speech and Language Therapy, Occupational Therapy and Intellectual Disability Nursing to help families, schools, professionals and organisations better understand the people they support.
We translate specialist clinical knowledge into practical, individualised approaches that can be used in everyday life. We provide a variety of workshops, consultations and tailor supports.
From understanding to meaningful change
Understanding the why behind behaviour can change the way we respond.
Our approach is informed by Positive Behaviour Support and contemporary understanding across behaviour, communication, sensory processing, regulation, trauma, neurodiversity, mental health and learning disability.
We believe understanding changes outcomes.
We know that no two people, families, schools or organisations are the same. Therefore, we tailor each workshop and consultation to the people in front of us—making complex specialist knowledge clear, relevant and practical.
Four professions. One whole-person perspective.
Behaviour rarely exists in isolation.
Communication, sensory processing, emotional regulation, physical and mental health, relationships, learning, environment and previous experiences can all influence how someone responds to the world around them.
Our team brings extensive postgraduate education as well as hands on experience developed through years of directly working in healthcare, education, the charitable sector and justice system.
That is why SENtred NI brings four professional perspectives together.
Rather than looking at one part of the picture, our multidisciplinary approach helps us consider what may be happening for the whole person and what support or change may genuinely help.
Better understanding can change what happens next
For us success is not simply delivering a workshop.
It is what people are able to understand and do differently afterwards.
