This is a specialist service offered where your local occupational therapist's training and scope of practice cover paediatrics — check availability for your area on the county page.
Every child in Sandiacre is different, and so is every family's daily routine — this service starts by understanding both, at home rather than in a clinic. Your local occupational therapist works alongside families in Sandiacre on the goals that matter most.
What to expect in Sandiacre
- A conversation with parents or carers about priorities and daily routines
- Observing the child in familiar surroundings, at their own pace
- Practical strategies and activities families can build into everyday life
- A written summary, and — where appropriate — liaison with school or other professionals involved
Who this helps
- Children finding self-care tasks such as dressing, eating or toileting harder than expected for their age
- Children with sensory processing differences affecting daily routines
- Children with a developmental delay affecting motor skills, self-care or participation
