At ROKIL, our mission is to redefine mental health and developmental support for children under 14. We achieve this by providing a creative, neuro-affirming alternative to traditional clinical pathways by prioritising nervous system regulation, emotional resilience and holistic well-being. Our approach is anchored in a deep commitment to love, compassion, and patience (inspired by 1 Corinthians 13:4-7).
By uniting this heart-led ethos with our deep expertise in cognitive, emotional, and behavioural science, we use the power of play, sound, and the arts to empower children to thrive in spaces where they feel completely safe, seen, and understood.
Playful Voices: A 6-Week Sensory & Communication Cohort
Fully funded by the Rothschild Foundation for Buckinghamshire families.
Autumn Cohort Commencing: Thursday 5th November 2026, 10:30-11:20
Playful Voices is a multi-modal communication program combining visual aids, Makaton, therapeutic play, and music to support children and parents along their speech, communication, and social development journeys. Over six weeks, we provide direct group intervention for children, alongside actionable resources and strategic support for parents to utilise at home.
Each six-week cohort follows a targeted curriculum, anchoring specific Makaton signs and therapeutic activities to essential developmental themes. Our structured approach includes:
Friends & Family: Building social connection and shared attention.
Routine & Transitions: Using visual aids to ease anxiety around daily changes and nursery drop-offs.
Autonomy & Self-Advocacy: Empowering children with the communication tools to safely express their needs, emotions, and boundaries.
Expert-Led Intervention:
To ensure a premium, highly supportive environment, Playful Voices is directed by a specialist practitioner holding an MSc in Child and Adolescent Mental Health, a BSc in Education and Psychology, and Makaton certification. Every session is supported by a dedicated team of trained staff, ensuring strict, appropriate ratios and the ability to provide immediate 1-to-1 support when a child needs it.
Due to the funded nature of this project, spaces are strictly limited per cohort to maintain a therapeutic, low-arousal environment. This program is exclusively for:
Children aged 2.5 to 5 years old
Children currently experiencing transition anxiety, speech delays, or sensory overwhelm.
Families seeking alternative or bridge support while navigating clinical pathways.
Parents who can commit to attending all 6 weekly 50-minute sessions alongside their child.
