OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY

Children entering Greenwood House are assessed by an occupational therapist. Parents will be advised should a child require therapy.

The occupational therapist aims to develop and improve the child’s gross motor skills (ie, balance, coordination, organisation and motor planning) and fine motor skills (ie, hand-eye coordination, dexterity, dominance, pencil control and letter formation).

The therapist works closely with the child’s teacher, classroom assistant, speech and language therapist and parents to ensure a holistic approach through sharing of treatment goals.

Treatment may be provided through

individual sessions
class based programmes, jointly delivered with the class teacher, e.g, pencil skills groups, gross motor skills groups
groups jointly delivered with the child’s speech and language therapist, e.g, attention and listening groups incorporating gross motor skills
