About Us

The BOUNCE Approach® in practice

How we help

We create the assessments, planning tools, practical provision, training and resources that help you understand what may be happening, decide what support to put in place and see what changes.

Everything is connected through The BOUNCE Approach®

01 · Our approach

Everything starts withThe BOUNCE Approach®

A neurodevelopmental, trauma-informed and neurodivergent-affirming approach that shapes how we understand need and everything we create in response to it.

We see dysregulation as communication.

Rather than focusing only on what a child or young person is doing, BOUNCE helps us stay curious about what may be happening and what support may help.

What are we noticing? 2-minute Snapshot Wellbeing Snapshot OVERALL INDICATOR 40 EmotionalBalance 42 Safety+ Calm 25 Connection+ Belonging 75 Self-worth+ Coping 17 What needs attention first? Repeat to review change
02 · Snapshots

We created Snapshotsto help you understand what may be underneath

Our 2-minute Snapshots help turn what is being noticed into a clearer picture of what may be happening underneath.

They highlight strengths, patterns and priorities, and can be repeated to show what is changing over time.

Once the picture is clearer, we can decide what support to put in place.

Snapshots

1 · WHAT YOU ARE NOTICING 2 · WHAT IS HAPPENING 3 · YOUR PLAN — STRAIGHT INTO THE LEARNING PORTAL Training Lesson plans Resources Interactive tools
03 · Provision Mapping

We created Provision Mappingto turn Snapshot assessment into a plan

It takes what your Snapshot is showing and connects it to the support you are putting in place.

From the map, you can open the relevant training, lesson plans, resources and interactive tools in the Learning Portal.

Because the plan stays linked to the Snapshot, you can repeat the assessment and see whether the provision is making a difference.

Assessment → provision → impact. All connected.

04 · Practical provision

We created a toolkitbecause every child is different

Different approaches and formats, so support can be matched to the child or young person, their needs and how they engage.

    Behaviour is communication, so we create more ways for every child and young person’s voice to be heard.

    “What really set it apart was the 'DIY' spirit instead of pushing high end sensory catalogues, making this doable in hallways and on PE halls… It was honest, incredibly practical, and designed for educators…”
