My name is Donna Boygle and I am a paediatric occupational therapist and sensory integration practitioner. I have worked for the NHS for 8 years before setting up my private service in Southend on sea.  I have worked within children development centres, special schools and support children in mainstream and families within the home. I will be working at Dycorts supporting staff and the children in understanding the sensory needs of the children and how to support self regulation and achieve a calm alert state for learning. Each child is unique and will have differing needs but together we can work as a team to enable children at Dycorts to achieve their full potential.  I look forward to working with you.  Donna Boygle.
