Children's Occupational Therapy

Neurological occupational therapy for children and young people with neurological or neurodivergent conditions.

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 due to an injury, disability, or diagnosis. These challenges can impact:

Thinking skills
Physical abilities
Behaviour and emotions
Organisation

Our children's occupational therapists understand the unique challenges that can arise from neurodivergence, brain injury, neurological conditions, and sensory differences.

Krysalis supports children and young people by assessing how these challenges affect everyday activities and participation. We provide practical, personalised strategies to help them develop independence, build confidence, and engage more successfully in the activities that matter most to them.

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 occupational therpy within the framework of Education, Health and 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 diagnosis, 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.

What others says

I just wanted to thank you very much for attending the meeting at School and for being such an amazing advocate for our child and us as a family. I really don’t know where we would be without you. Parent of beneficiary
Thank you so much for the training this afternoon. It was a perfect summary for staff to get started on thinking of ideas to support the children in their classes. Everyone was very complimentary about the session. Just what we needed. School staff
I can't really express in words how grateful I am. You are the first person that I have met that who has given me some hope! You really know what you are talking about and genuinely care. You were so professional but also warm and understanding. It makes such a difference. Mother of beneficiary
Working with Nichola has been life changing for us as a family and especially for our son. To have someone involved who understands has done wonders and it has meant that I no longer feel quite so scared about his future. Parent of beneficiary
I can’t say how supported both my child and me have felt on her journey over the last year, you have worked wonders with the school, and my child always tells me about her sessions with you. Mother of beneficiary
