Occupational Therapy Services
Our Occupational Therapy (OT) service helps children and young people to develop the skills they need to feel safe, regulated, and capable in daily life. We support sensory regulation, independence, and emotional wellbeing through trauma-informed practice. Our Occupational Therapists work in partnership with homes and other clinicians to provide consistent, relationship-based support. We integrate OT input within the wider clinical model to ensure consistency across all aspects of care.
We prioritise
Safety, regulation, and trust
Strength-based, empowering practice
Collaboration with residential staff and professionals
Empowering staff to embed intervention strategies
Occupational Therapists support participation — whether that’s self-care, learning, play, or relationships. We work closely with staff teams to embed sensory and functional strategies into the rhythm of daily care.
Why Occupational Therapy Matters
Children who’ve experienced trauma or inconsistent caregiving often struggle with sensory processing, motor coordination, and self-regulation. These challenges can affect every aspect of daily life, from sleeping and eating to managing emotions.
OT helps children to
- Understand and regulate their sensory systems
- Build self-care and daily living skills
- Improve coordination and motor control
- Develop routines that promote calm and safety
- Gain independence and confidence
