Discuss a particular case
The occupational therapist can arrange to meet yourself to discuss any concerns you may have over a particular case. This could include a home or school visit for safety and access to services, or treatment needed following an accident or injury. We offer the following services
One on One treatment
The occupational therapist would be able to provide one on one treatment in the child�s school, at home or in one of our clinics.
Groups
At OT for Kids, we can provide group services to children with similar difficulties, ages and abilities. The groups we currently offer are:

- Movement – To improve gross motor skills, for conditions like Developmental Co-ordination Disorder and otherwise movement impaired children
- Confidence – for those with low confidence

School Visits
The occupational therapist can also complete any assessment and treatment within the school.

OT for Kids have been a great help in aiding my son Jake with coping with his dyspraxia both at home and in school. They came out to our house and completed the assessment at home.
