Helpful answers before your first conversation.

Occupational Therapy helps people participate more independently and confidently in everyday activities. Depending on the person’s needs, this may include play, learning, self-care, work, home routines, movement, sensory participation or community activities.

Children, adolescents and adults may benefit when physical, developmental, sensory, cognitive or neurological challenges affect daily participation. Suitability depends on the person’s goals, current abilities and the activities that are difficult or important to them.

You may contact the centre directly to discuss your concern. The team will advise whether an Occupational Therapy consultation is an appropriate starting point and whether medical information, a referral or input from another professional is needed.

The therapist reviews the person’s strengths, concerns, routines, history and goals. The appointment may include discussion, observation and task-based assessment. The next step may be a therapy plan, home guidance, further assessment or another suitable referral.

Consider seeking guidance when difficulties with play, handwriting, attention, movement, sensory responses, dressing, feeding, toileting, sleep or school participation repeatedly affect the child or family. A consultation can help clarify whether direct assessment is useful.

Occupational Therapy may support functional goals related to sensory regulation, motor skills, self-care, play, routines, attention and participation. Therapy does not cure autism or ADHD, and recommendations are based on each child’s individual strengths and needs.

Caregiver participation is often important because strategies are most useful when they connect with everyday routines. The level of involvement depends on the child’s age, goals, session format and the therapist’s recommendations.

Practical home guidance may be provided when appropriate. Recommendations are selected according to the child’s assessment, family priorities and the routines being addressed rather than using the same programme for every child.

Adult Occupational Therapy may address daily living skills, hand and upper-limb function, neurological rehabilitation, stroke recovery, fatigue management, home safety, work participation and independence after illness, injury or surgery.

Most consultations and therapy sessions are planned for approximately 45–60 minutes. The exact duration may vary according to the service, assessment needs, age, fatigue and individual goals.
