"Oh, what a feeling, When we're seeing our new ceiling"....is what Lionel Richie would say if saw the progress at the big jigsaw house. Our new suspended ceiling is going to incorporate some lovely mood lighting so we can individually set the tone for each and every session! #progress #ceiling #lionelrichie #ot #sensory #sensoryplay

A reminder for all our parents and carers. ❤️

This is so relevant to some of the children we see. 😕

Time to scale back our weekend plans? “Childhood serves a very real purpose. It’s not something to “get through”. It’s there to protect and develop young minds so they can grow into healthy and happy adults. When society messes too much with childhood, young brains react. By providing a sense of balance and actively protecting childhood we’re giving our children the greatest gift they’ll ever receive.”

Look out folks, the head honcho is back in town! Vicky has penned a Southpaw UK blog about her holiday, sorry, work trip to St Lucia earlier this year. You'll note the reference to a G&T on the flight but I must have missed the part about all the rum also consumed on the trip?!? Some work was done apparently, read all about it! http://blog.southpaw.co.uk/?p=418

It’s so very hard to explain to people what Occupational Therapy is (other than blooming brilliant!).

Trump has been in office for 1 year and 274 days but no sign of the wall he promised. Meanwhile, on day 5 in the big jigsaw house we have our first wall! #progress

Because Dominic hasn't got enough going on his life he's decided to sign up for a 10k run to save him from boredom. It is a special one for him though as he is helping to raise money for the Sussex Rehab Centre for Limb Loss who have supported his goddaughter, Izzy, since she was born without fingers on her left hand. The original plan was to raise £500 for their Christmas party but amazingly her dad (also running) has already smashed this. However, if we can raise even more money then we can really give them a party to remember. If anyone would like to contribute in anyway the link is below. We'll let you know how long it takes for Dominic to huff and puff his way along the route! https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/j amie-henderson-10k

Day 1 in the big jigsaw house! Goodbye cold, grey, unforgiving concrete and hello nice, warm, soft carpet!

We are so excited to finally be able to announce that Jigsaw has just signed the lease of our new premises in Burgess Hill! It's a bit of a rough diamond right now but we think we've found somewhere with the potential to create a fantastic Sensory Integration centre which will offer so much more to all those who benefit from our OT services. We are going to keep the updates coming as the building will be transformed from the images you see below! All being well we'll be in before Christmas!!

A great event from our friends at Autism Support Crawley Information Page, aimed at parents/carers and those they care for for and anyone with an interest in autism. Details below on a wonderful opportunity to hear first hand experiences from a fantastic speaker, Paul Isaacs.

A moment I'm sure you have all been waiting for. Jigsaw OT is now instagramming! Please give us a follow before everyone else does and you can say you were one of the first to enjoy our epic social media game. We will be uploading plenty of exciting news on all platforms very soon!!! Watch this space!!

We've set a date for our next training event! On Thursday 29th November we will be running a course of Sensory Processing Difficulties. This popular course always sells out so please do get in touch if you would like to secure a place! Details on the flyer below!
