When Might Occupational Therapy Help?

Have you ever wondered whether occupational therapy might be helpful for your child, or what an occupational therapist actually does?

I've created this free handout to help families understand the different ways occupational therapy can support everyday life, from toileting, feeding and sleep to school participation, coordination, sensory processing and nervous system regulation.

I also explore my child-led, neuroaffirming and regulation-first approach to OT, where we focus on understanding the individual, their environment and what they need to feel supported.

If you're unsure where to start, I've included information on accessing occupational therapy in Ireland, including HSE services, finding a private OT through AOTI, and contacting Glimmer Therapy.
