Practical questions

Can I stay with my child during the session?
Yes. The clinic encourages a parent to sit in on one to one sessions so they can see the activities and ask questions.
How long does a session last?
One to one sessions are either 45 minutes or an hour, depending on the child's age and needs.
Will the therapist visit my child's school?
Yes. A school visit involves observing the child during a lesson, and at lunch in the yard if requested, with recommendations given directly to the teacher. Contact the clinic to arrange one.
Who they see
Children and young people from birth to 18. The therapist lists experience with autism, DCD/dyspraxia, sensory processing difficulties, hypermobility, Down syndrome, stress and anxiety, ADHD and ADD, foetal alcohol syndrome, dysgraphia, dyslexia, dyscalculia, Fragile X and global developmental delay.
Assessments
A full occupational therapy assessment covering fine motor skills, balance, gross motor skills, handwriting, sensory processing, visual perception and auditory processing, plus a separate handwriting assessment. Each leads to a plan for the child.
Where sessions happen
