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

The London Children’s Practice Paediatric Occupational therapists work tirelessly to assist and help children succeed in performing their self-care and school/play activities.

Testimonial

“Thank you for getting the fantastic report you did on our child to us so quickly. It is amazing and we cannot thank you enough for the assessment you did. It is nice to see his problems being addressed rather than the usual negative attitude we have come up against for the last few years trying to get our son the help he so desperately needs……it is the first time I have ever had a clear view of what we as his parents feel is right from him…..” Katherine Gray
