Occupational Therapy

Specialty Description 

We provide an Occupation Centred approach as a way to improve health and wellbeing for children. Occupational Therapy aims to enable children to be as independent as possible in their day to day occupations. We will focus on occupations that are meaningful and important to your child and family. These may include self-care activities, play/leisure skills and/or school skills.

  • Open: Tuesdays 9:30am–11:30am and Thursdays 4:00pm–6:00pm
  • Telephone Number: 01382 740317

If needed referrals can also be made by completing our referral form which can be found via our website.
