Who we help
Do you recognise this child?
The BOUNCE Approach® was built for all three – by someone who has been in your shoes and does the work every day.
The one who shuts down
Refuses tasks, goes silent, disappears into themselves. Not being difficult – overwhelmed, with no words for it yet.
The one who explodes
Zero to ten in seconds, and they can’t tell you why. By the time it’s happened, it’s already too late for strategies.
The one who carries a lot
Anxious, avoidant, or always braced for something. Maybe they’ve been through things. Maybe nobody knows the half of it.
The BOUNCE® lens
Six pillars. One whole child.
Instead of “why is this child anxious?”, we look beneath – through six interconnected areas of development.
Body
Nervous system – is this child detecting danger, or safe enough to engage?
Openness
Attachment – how might relationships and experiences of safety be shaping behaviour?
Understanding
Sensory – could this child’s sensory world be overwhelming their nervous system?
Navigating emotions
Emotions – can this child notice, understand and express what their body is feeling?
Communication
Connection – how is it affecting their ability to connect and ask for help?
Esteem & identity
Self – what beliefs about themselves might this child have developed?
You’ll always know your next step
Everything in BOUNCE follows four simple questions.
1
Where are we now?
2
Where do we want to be?
3
How will we get there?
4
What difference did we make?
It mirrors the graduated approach at the heart of the SEND Code of Practice – assess, plan, do, review. With the child, not the paperwork, at the centre.
