Children and Young People's Occupational Therapy

• What they offer / teach

  An Occupational Therapy service that helps children and young people carry out activities they need or want to do in the areas of self care, school work and play, supporting fuller participation in daily life. The site has separate Early Years (0-5) and School Age (4-19) information and resource areas. The team also runs regular virtual parent/carer workshops on three topics: Understanding your Child's Sensory Needs, Activities of Daily Living, and Early Years - Supporting your child's development & increasing independence.

• Ages served

  The service works with children and young people between the ages of 0-19 years, with resources divided into Early Years (0-5 years) and School Age (4-19 years).

• Approach

  OT aims to support children and young people in getting the most from their lives and achieving their potential, working with those whose difficulties or disability impact their daily participation in activities. The service is explicitly not based on a diagnosis but on the child or young person's occupational need, recognising that learning, sensory or physical difficulties can compromise a child's ability to grow, learn, socialise and play.

• Admissions

  The page refers to children and young people being referred to Occupational Therapy, and notes that depending on the child's needs and the information on the referral, parents/carers may be invited to attend a support session. No further detail on the referral or admissions process is given.
