This service is provided to children living in the local area who are experiencing functional difficulties in their everyday lives.
The service helps children and young people to be as independent as possible in doing everyday activities such as dressing, using the toilet, holding a spoon and learning how to hold a pencil.
Occupational therapists may work with children to:
- develop the small movements of their hands and fingers that help them to open and close a button or pick up a pencil
- develop larger movements and coordination of arms and legs to do things like catch a ball, balance on one leg.
- develop play skills including imaginary games and solving problems
