Summary
Occupational Therapist’s (OTs) work with children and young people who have difficulties with daily activities e.g. going to the park, scribbling and drawing, playing with toys, getting dressed, having a bath. These are called ‘occupations’. OTs help children and young people to carry out activities they need or want to do in areas of self-care, school work and play.
The aim of the service is to support children to learn new skills to help them become more independent. This is done together with the parent, child, teacher or other professionals the child may be known to.
How to access the service:
1. Self Referral via Form:
This is an open referral system. This means that anyone who is affected by a child’s difficulty in managing daily activities can complete a referral form. This could include the parents, another family member, the child’s teacher or another professional that works with them. A referral from anyone other than the person with parental responsibility will not be accepted without consent from that person.
You can download a referral form using the links below but please read the referral guidelines before completing the form to avoid unnecessary delays.
