OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY SUPPORT FOR YOUR CHILD

Girl in a jacket
Our Approach

We are committed to providing neuroaffirming, child centred, play based, evidence based, quality Paediatric Occupational Therapy services for all children who need it. Our passion for play is evident in all that we do and we promise to support, empower and encourage your child and your family in making meaningful changes to all aspects of their everyday life as you see fit. 

What is Occupational Therapy and why might your child need it?

As Paediatric Occupational Therapists we support and empower children to participate and engage in the everyday activities of their life at their own pace. We do this by thinking about them, the activity they want or need to do and the environment. Your child may need support from a Paediatric OT if: 

  • They are experiencing some challenges in their play skills, sensory skills, fine or gross motor skills 
  • They need support with organisation or self care skills (eating, dressing, using the toilet etc)
  • They need extra support in school (handwriting, transitions, regulation etc)
  • They have a specific diagnosis such as Autism, DCD, ADHD, Developmental Delay,

CONSULTATION CLINIC

If you’re currently awaiting services or are not sure where to begin with a challenge your child is facing, or a concern you may have, our OT consultation clinic is here to help. Parents and guardians can connect with Kevin, our Senior Children’s Occupational Therapist.

In this 50-60 minute online consultation, you can discuss and ask questions around the areas of sensory processing, self-regulation, self-care, school or play-related activities, motor skills, attention and concentration, handwriting, and overall independence or questions about diagnoses such as Autism, Dyslexia, DCD/Dyspraxia, ADHD, Developmental delays etc. Whether you are looking for practical advice or guidance, this session will leave you feeling empowered and equipped with insights and actionable steps to make a meaningful difference in your child’s life.

Following the consultation, you’ll receive an email with recommendations and helpful resources to guide you (where necessary).

 

*This consultation is not a therapy service, but it’s an excellent way to get started and feel more confident in supporting your child’s development.

THE OT CLUB

The OT Club is a play based, non-competitive, fun filled group, specifically for children who are experiencing challenges in the areas of motor skills, behavioural skills, cognitive skills, social skills and sensory regulation. The programme of activities has been carefully designed by Kevin our Senior Paediatric OT and is facilitated by both Kevin and Áine our Occupational Therapy Assistant. At every session of The OT Club we work on improving each child’s gross motor skills such as core and shoulder strength, balance and coordination. We also play many different games to work on social skills, social communication, encouraging cooperation and teamwork as well as body awareness and sensory regulation. Each playful activity has a purpose, the children are learning through their play.
