Step 1: Inital Occupational Therapy Assessment

At Little Peaks OT, we focus on delivering personalised Paediatric Occupational Therapy that addresses the unique needs of your child. Your child's unique sensory needs and profile really drives the therapy we offer.

Our therapy provision is designed to enhance a child’s everyday functioning by improving their fine and gross motor skills, self-care abilities, and social participation. I use a play-based approach that makes learning enjoyable while fostering independence and success. Through engaging activities, I aim to empower children to take part in daily routines, thus building their confidence and self-esteem. Together, we will create a nurturing environment where your child can thrive!

Step 2: Individual Programme Block

Once your little learner has completed their inital assessment, you will be offered a speciaised treatment block with our OT. This will include in-person sessions, a home and school programme if appropriate, and a review/follow up appointment to review progress and goals.

Our current block options for our Little Learners:

• Fine Motor

• Gross Motor

• Sensory regulation

Example Treatment Block:

Fine and Gross Motor Skills

Developing fine and gross motor skills is fundamental for children's overall growth and independence. At Little Peaks OT, I focus on crafting activities that improve coordination, strength, and dexterity in an enjoyable manner. Whether it's using play dough for fine motor enhancement or engaging in fun physical exercises to build gross motor skills, my approach is tailored to each child's interests and abilities. As your child masters these skills, they gain greater control over their movements, which translates into improved performance in everyday tasks like writing, dressing, and participating in sports.

Example Sensory Treatment Block:

Sensory Regulation

Understanding and managing sensory regulation is essential for children's emotional well-being. At Little Peaks OT, I employ strategies designed to help children identify their sensory needs and learn self-regulation techniques. By engaging in sensory-rich activities, children can practise navigating their responses to varying stimuli. My focus on sensory regulation not only aids in emotional management but also facilitates enhanced school participation and social interactions. Together, we will create a personalised plan that addresses your child's specific sensory preferences, ensuring they feel secure and ready to engage in their surroundings.
