Occupational Therapy
Paediatric occupational therapy focuses on enabling children and young people complete daily activities and develop life skills.
At Sensory Sprouts Therapy, I primarily take a play based approach to support in the development of these skills. I primarily support those who are neurodivergent or suspected neurodivergent, with a history of trauma, and supporting children and young people in educational settings.
I can support with assessments and occupational therapy to develop the following areas:
Self-care tasks
Accessing Education, including support with Education and Health Care Plans.
Support with sensory and emotional regulation
Trauma and Adverse Childhood Experiences
Mental Health
My approach:
I take a client-centred approach to support children, young people, parents/carers, schools and other professionals. The following approach is taken:
When a query or referral is received, a 20 minute consultation will take place to identify if I am the right fit for you and your child or young person.
Initial Assessment:
Screening Tools used to identify if more detailed assessment is required.
Non-standardised assessments including discussions with relevant stakeholders, observations at home/school/community.
Standardised Assessments including: BOT-3, Beery VMI, EASI (if appropriate)
Assessment Report (including for EHCP’s)
Intervention:
A block of intervention as agreed between stakeholders with frequent review of progress.
