What to expect from OT

Before an initial consultation you will be asked to fill in some forms so we know a little more about your child before meeting them.
At the initial consultation, it is beneficial to have a parent or guardian present as this is our opportunity to get a clear picture of your child. The initial consultation is usually where goals are developed as a team.
​
Depending on your child's goals, you and the Occupational Therapist will decide if you would like to continue engaging with our service.
