Children's Occupational Therapy

What is Children's Occupational Therapy?

Our brain takes meaning from the information we receive through our senses. It relies on this information to help us understand the world around us. Some children and young people have challenges processing this sensory information. These challenges can impact:

Thinking skills
Physical abilities
Behaviour and emotions
Organisation

No matter the condition, our occupational therapists understand the challenges. We support children and young people with ASD, ADHD, dyspraxia, sensory integration difficulties, brain injury, and those who have a suspected neurodivergent diagnosis.

Our occupational therapists are an integrated workforce, meaning that many of our OTs can provide children's occupational therapy to either neurotypical or neurodivergent children. Krysalis' children's occupational therapy service assesses the young person's needs and provides strategies to help them succeed in everyday activities, allowing them to become more independent and confident in who they are.

Our Services in Education

Neuro OT for Education

We work in schools to provide paediatric occupational therapy to children who have been referred by their school or Local Education Authority.

Special Educational Needs Rehabilitation

We provide services to those with special education needs (SEN), where our rehabilitation is tailored to suit each individual.

Education and Health Care Plan

For those requiring SEN support, our occupational therapists can provide EHCPS, which are a legally binding document outlining a child or young adult's special educational, health, and social care needs.

How can Paediatric Occupational Therapy Help?

Our team is skilled in providing occupational therapy to children and young people at home or school, in both state and private settings.

They are experienced in the delivery of Education and Health Care Plans and are confident working directly with solicitors, case managers, parents, local education authorities and schools to provide therapy. We strive to ensure that every child and young person achieves their full potential.

Our private occupational therapists support children and young people to build upon their functional life skills and help them to navigate their environments confidently, no matter their disability or injury. They provide a service tailored to each child and young person's needs, working closely with parents or caregivers and schools to obtain the best possible outcomes.
