Occupational therapy
Welcome to occupational therapy
The aim of our paediatric occupational therapy service is to
enable children to participate in daily activities to improve
health, independence and well-being.
The Occupational Therapy team provide assessment and
intervention for babies, children and teenagers who have challenges
with everyday activities (or occupations) as a result of illness,
injury or a pre-existing condition. This may include:
- Self-care e.g. self-feeding, getting dressed, bathing and
toileting
- Play and social interaction
- Productivity e.g. school skills such as writing, typing, using
scissors and drawing
- Learning and development
- Accessing the home, community or education
environment
We support safe discharge from hospital, which may include the
provision of equipment, modifying activities and/or modification of
the ward and home environment.
For further information please see the
College of Occupational therapist leaflet.
