We provide occupational therapy for children with physical and sensory needs in Twickenham, Richmond, Thames Ditton and Hampton. We are committed to providing the best possible therapy services for your child. Our treatment sessions are both fun and a positive learning experience. We passionately believe in helping to build your child’s confidence and self-esteem, so that they can reach their true potential. We also have extensive experience in sensory processing and functional problem solving.

Children’s occupational therapists help children to take part in everyday activities (i.e. occupations) and we look at how the environment impact on their daily participation in school and home.

We do this through a range of …

• Teaching a specific skill ( e.g. problem solving, learning about their level of alertness and focus or teaching handwriting or touch-typing.)
• Treating the underlying causes which are limiting your child’s everyday skills (e.g. pencil control, hand strength or over-sensitivity to noise or light touch).
• Modifying the environment to support your child
  We work very closely with parents and teachers to assist children to reach their potential. This could be providing the child with special handwriting lines in class to support their writing, or providing sensory activities to help your child learn better. Intensive movement breaks can renew some children’s concentration. A wobbly cushion, which gives them just enough movement to stay alert, could also help. Other children simply need fewer visual distractions.
• Providing aids to help your child succeed in specific tasks (such as a pencil grip, or visual supports)
