Occupational Therapy
Children’s Occupational Therapy involves helping children to be able to reach their maximum potential through setting functional goals. In working with children these goals are achieved through the use of play, the primary occupation of childhood. There are two general aims of children occupational therapy. These are to improve the child’s functional performance and to enhance the child’s ability to interact within his or her physical and social environments.
Occupational Therapy Assessment
This will involve an initial interview and information gathering: meet with parent(s)/guardian(s) and the baby/child, gain access to relevant medical reports, background history, school reports/liaison.The OT assessment will involve the completion of non standardised and/or standardised assessments to identify the child’s strengths, areas of difficulty, and developmental level.
Occupational Therapy Treatment
Setting goals with the parents and/or child. Examples of treatment includes positioning and handling skills, fine motor skill development, early play and social skill development, visual perception work, upper limb rehabilitation, pre writing and handwriting programmes.
