Saint Patrick’s P.S accesses a range of outside agencies to support the children in school. We are fortunate to avail of the services provided by RISE NI
RISE NI is a regional early intervention service which supports children in pre-school educational and mainstream primary school settings by working closely with parents and education staff to help children develop the foundation skills for learning i.e. speech, language, communication, sensory-motor, visual perception, social, emotional and behaviour skills.
The SHSCT RISE NI team consists of occupational therapists, physiotherapists, speech and language therapists, clinical psychologist, behaviour therapists, dietitian and therapy assistants.
The children really enjoy working with this team and they provide excellent support to both the children and staff in school.
The following link will provide further information on the services they provide.
