What to expect.
As a Paediatric Occupational Therapist I work closely with children and their families in their homes, schools and other relevant environments to the child/family. I work closely with educational staff, health care providers and other agencies that are supporting the child/family/whanau. I believe every person is unique with their own set of strength and challenges and an individualised programme implemented within their family/community will enable and assist your child to reach their maximum potential.
What will happen?
- Initial Visit with family to discuss your child’s needs
- Parent Questionnaires, /Developmental History/Pre-school school as appropriate.
- Clinical observations Home/Pre-school/School
- Formalised assessment
- Report
In consultation with family formulation of an individualised therapy plan for you and your child; which may be in conjunction with preschools, school and other agencies such as speech language therapy, physio therapy.
