Warrington Children’s Occupational Therapy – About our service

Occupational Therapists can help babies, infants and young people grow, learn, have fun, socialise, and play so they can develop, thrive, and reach their full potential. (Royal College of Occupational Therapists, 2018).

The Community Children’s Occupational Therapy team sees children and young people who have difficulty joining in with the activities they need and want to do every day.

We call these activities ‘occupations.’

Occupations can include:

  • Self-care tasks (e.g. dressing, bathing, using cutlery)
  • Education (e.g. handwriting, scissor skills, organising work)
  • Play and leisure (e.g. hobbies and sports)

An Occupational Therapist may suggest alternative ways of doing things; provide advice on learning new approaches and techniques or making changes to the environment i.e. through using equipment or adaptations.

Meet the team

Our service is made up of a team of qualified Occupational Therapists, Therapy Assistants and Administration Officers.

Staff have experience in a range of specialist areas of interest, meaning we can offer support to children and young people with a variety of different needs.

All our staff have an Enhanced DBS with clearance to work with children and vulnerable people and our Occupational Therapists are registered with The Health and Care Professional Council.
