Occupational therapy

Occupational therapy is an individualised service aimed at building children's skills and ability to participate in everyday routines, tasks and activities. Occupational therapists will assess child needs and current levels of functioning and based on their requirements will develop and review an individual service plan. The individual therapy will focus on the core learning needs of the child to develop their fine and gross motor skills, self care, play and effective learning and organisational skills.
