Abstract

The Occupational Therapists (OT) will provide a service to children in clinics, their homes or schools and in other community settings as required. The service completes assessment, advice and intervention when required, for children with multiple needs which result in functional difficulties affecting their daily living.

Advice can be consultative to schools involving training and upskilling staff to manage children’s difficulties; provision of goal-oriented, individualised therapy programs to increase functional independence; group therapy; and 1:1 therapy sessions, with an emphasis on involving caregivers and school staff in sessions to develop their ability to independently support the child, within their natural context. The OT team will also where appropriate provide assessment of equipment to maximise independence where necessary. Occupational therapists contribute to EHCPs for children and will follow the loal NHS providers packages of care based on need.

This service does not provide clinic based sensory integration, but will advise education providers and families regarding sensory diets and programs which are functionally appropriate.
