So, your GP has referred you to an Occupational Therapist? You might be wondering what that means for your child, how it works (and what it costs). When it comes to the little people in our worlds, finding the right therapist to meet your needs can be a daunting task – but it doesn’t need to be.
What is occupational Therapy anway?
In a word, support. Occupational Therapists are focussed primarily on the use of everyday activities to develop, recover, improve as well as maintain the skills needed for daily living. Occupational Therapists (or OT’s) work with people of any age, including children or older people, in broad variety of situations including those who require supports to assist them with an Injury, illness, learning difficulties or even a disability. Sometimes OT’s are brought in to help identify strengths and challenges and help provide practical solutions, to help you maintain, improve or regain independence through these supports. At Outcomes Therapy we are focussed on providing supports for Children by taking a holisticview of their needs and working to provide supports to that outcome.
