About Occupational Therapy
The Independent Child is a service for children who require Occupational Therapy (OT).
Children develop and grow by learning, socialising and playing. Sometimes a child can experience difficulties in daily life due to physical disabilities, developmental delay, neurological disorders or behavioural difficulties.
An Occupational Therapist uses a problem solving approach based on knowledge of children's development and medical conditions to assess why one child may struggle to learn a new skill compared to another.
The aim of treatment is to maximise a child’s strengths and to help them develop new skills in order to acquire independent living skills.
