Welcome to the Caspari Foundation
We believe that all children who need help with development and learning should have access to affordable and appropriate support for their needs. We work towards this aim by supporting children with emotional, learning and behavioural difficulties to succeed in school.
Children, young people & families
Sometimes, through no fault of their own, children and young people can find their emotions get in the way of developing and learning. Caspari Foundation is a charity that helps children, young people and families to learn to cope with and overcome these barriers.
Services for schools
Therapeutic approaches to teaching can help teachers and others in schools to develop a deeper understanding of how to support children with emotional, behavioural and learning difficulties.

Caspari Saturday Lectures
On Saturday 24 June 2017, Alison Waterhouse presented her work, Circles for Learning.
In a fascinating talk Alison told the story of how her training as an educational psychotherapist helped her to make sense of her teaching experience and inspired her to develop the Circles for Learning project. She captivated the audience with the account of how the project has developed and its impact on the learning experience of children in the classroom. Giving children the chance to observe a baby interacting with its mother provides teachers with numerous opportunities for exploring different areas of learning, including brain development.
As well as demonstrating her own creativity and energy in developing Circles for Learning it was fascinating to think about how the Caspari educational psychotherapy training can be used post qualification and the importance of promoting this thinking across education and in schools.

We are extremely grateful for their contributions to Caspari and wish them every happiness and success in the future.
