Touch the Sky
Who are we?
Touch The Sky offers an interactive distance
learning service delivered via videolink by qualified
therapists to both children and adults with a
range of learning requirements. They improve their
skills in the comfort of their own home or school,
benefiting from a proven videotherapy technique
developed by Touch The Sky.
What do we do?
We help schools and therapists offer
the regular one-to-one therapy that has been identified
as key to continuous development (improvement)
for learners. Through our website you can enter
our contact zone that brings learners, therapists
and schools together.
How do we do it?
We get around the main issues of location and cost by providing access for our licensed therapists and learners with videoconferencing equipment and connection services. Using a TV screen and an on-site camera in each location, the therapist and the learner are able to see, hear and speak to each other via a specially engineered secure broadband connection. The therapist can deliver a fully interactive session from wherever they are located directly to the learners’ home or school. Carers are reassured that all therapists have been fully vetted and every learning session is recorded.
Who can we help?
- Learners
Our mission is to make quality therapy available to all learners, to help them learn and develop through interactive teaching by a therapist who they like and trust. In this way we are helping to give children who could benefit from therapy the best possible start in life.
- Parents
For parents keen to ensure that their child has the best opportunity to improve his or her potential, Touch the Sky provides a means of continuous learning and development. Videotherapy has been proven through a series of trials to help learners significantly improve their skills.
- Schools
Touch The Sky has been assessed by OFSTED Consultants to provision interactive learning services to schools. Our mission is to help schools provide teaching and therapeutic care to children with learning difficulties. Schools can now access the skills of a fully qualified therapist based in any location, saving on permanent staff costs and matching resources more closely with learner needs.
