Occupational therapy

Occupational therapy (OT) addresses the question ‘Why does this child have difficulties managing his/her daily activities, and what can we do to make it possible for him/her to manage things better so that it has a positive impact on their health and general well-being?’. Our primary goal is to assist children participate in everyday activities.

Our Occupational therapists provide:-

assessments;
individual therapy at school, at home and/or in our clinics;
group therapy – ‘Wonderful Writers’ (Handwriting), ‘Little Hands’ (fine motor skills and pre-writing skills), ’Mover and Shakers’ (physiotherapy and occupational therapy), and ‘School Starters’ (speech and language therapy and occupational therapy school readinesss);
parent and teacher training, talks and advice;
home and school programmes; and,
medico legal assessment reports.

Children learn best by doing so our therapy sessions are fun and meaningful and provide multi-disciplinary practice skills through a range of different activities such as:

Visual fine motor skills – cutting, colouring, drawing, threading, puzzles, etc.
Sensory motor skills– posture, balance, throwing and catching, etc.
Self-care skills – dressing and undressing, using cutlery, etc.
Handwriting
Planning and organisational skills

Testimonial

‘The London Children’s Practice has literally been a life saver. It was such a relief to finally have my son’s speech difficulties recognised and to be met with such a practical positive approach. My son loves his ‘friends’ at the London Children’s Practice. It had been like looking at him through a pane of glass where I couldn’t reach him. Now I can. Thank You!’ Mrs. White
