Frustrated at the lack of available supports for her own children, our founder Karen Leigh, started out with a dream to make early intervention services such as speech & language therapy and occupational therapy affordable and accessible for children with additional needs.

Today Sensational Kids is an innovative, award winning social enterprise that has positively impacted the lives of 6,000+ children with additional needs throughout Ireland, saving their families over €1.5 million in therapy fees.

With Child Development Centres located across the country in Leinster, Munster, Connacht, & Ulster Sensational Kids is Ireland's leading provider of affordable and accessible early intervention services for children of all abilities, all ages and all means.

The combination of subsidised clinical intervention services, access to specially chosen learning resources through our child development and learning store, and professional development training workshops for those who work with children with additional needs, constitutes a unique holistic approach to facilitate better outcomes for children.

AWARDS & PRESS

GET STARTED TODAY!

Working on a child's motor skills from an early age is a vital part of their development. Octobox activities are a fun, creative, and proactive way to improve a child's motor skills.

Octobox combines specially formulated crafts with engaging demonstration videos. It's a convenient & affordable way to help children develop their motor skills.

THE MIND BEHIND OCTOBOX

Octobox is developed by a team led by multi-award winning OT, Jessica Kennedy. Jess is the Senior Paediatric Occupational Therapist who has her own private practice whereby she completes her intervention in the child's home environment. As Jess's waiting list grew, she realised that an immediate solution to help develop motor skills in a structured and ongoing basis was needed.

The goal is to get kids more active, encourage motor skills through activities, coach parents & teachers, support skill development and embrace positive child development. All our resources are designed by Jess who is passionate about creating fun and enjoyable learning opportunities for kids.

OUR PLASTIC PROMISE

The world has enough plastic. You deserve to feel guilt-free about improving your child's motor skills. That's why we're committed to using minimal plastic and reducing excess waste.

Our custom wooden OT Toys in our Whizz Kid Projects are designed and produced right here in Ireland. We do not include items that you likely have in your home or school already - things like tweezers, glue sticks, and sellotape. However, if you DO need these items, we'll ship them to you. Our commitment to zero waste means we make zero profit on this part of our service.

HOW IT WORKS:

1. PURCHASE OCTOBOX

2. SET UP YOUR ACCOUNT THROUGH THE EMAILS YOU RECEIVE

3. SHIPS WITHIN 2 WORKING DAYS

4. CREATE, LEARN & PLAY

This once off purchase of Octobox includes a 4 Week O.T led Program for 5-9 year olds. Age varies for kids with developmental delays and Octobox may be suitable for older children too. See our FAQ for more info.

To calculate the spelling age of a student who you've given the Schonell test, simply enter the number of words which they did spell correctly above, and hit "Calculate spelling age". While many of us enjoy the creative and inspirational aspects of teaching more than the grading, we all know it is vital that we understand in a measurable way how our students are progressing, or struggling.
