SEND Children's Occupational Therapy Service

We aim to enhance levels of functional independence by providing support to you and those who manage your child and/or young person's daily activities and care needs.

Once a need has been identified, we can:

• offer advice, information, signposting and support (e.g. managing your needs within the home, school, nursery environment)
• provide specialist equipment to assist with daily activities (e.g. specialist seating, toileting aids, shower/toileting seats, bathing aids, specialist beds)
• offer specialist moving, handling, risk assessment and advice (e.g. assessment for and provision of hoisting equipment and slings, moving and handling training, advice and planning)
• assessment for minor and major adaptations (e.g. grab rails, temporary ramps, stair lifts, level access shower area)
• undertake specialist occupational therapy assessments
• work with local health and housing providers to assess needs and provide appropriate support for specialist equipment, adaptations or re-housing
