The Occupational Therapy team work with students to develop their needs and to promote their strengths, supporting them to access the curriculum within the classroom as well as accessing meaningful activities that promote their physical health.

The team works holistically and will work with the student to improve their gross motor skills, fine motor skills, motor planning, functional skills (cutlery, tying shoe laces, time) visual perceptual skills, sensory and self-regulation, as well as promoting their life skills to enable them to have improved independence within school and the community.

Therapy takes place in 1:1, small group and class based sessions (e.g. regulation, life skills and fine motor skills).  The OTs also support teaching staff to ensure therapeutic strategies (e.g. brain breaks and movement breaks) are incorporated within the classes and provide each student with the indirect support they require.
