Specialist Occupational Therapist

Occupational therapists see beyond diagnoses and limitations to hopes and aspirations. 

They look at relationships between the activities you do every day – your occupations – alongside the challenges you face and your environment. Then, they create a plan of goals and adjustments targeted at achieving a specific set of activities. The plan is practical, realistic and personal to you as an individual, to help you achieve the breakthroughs you need to elevate your everyday life.

This support can give people a renewed sense of purpose. It can also open up new opportunities and change the way people feel about the future.

Who do we work with at bounceOT?

1. Occupational therapists help babies, infants, children and young people grow, learn, have fun, socialise and play – so they can develop, thrive and reach their full potential.
   The focus could be on self-care, like getting ready to go out, eating a meal or using the toilet. It could be around being productive – going to nursery or school, or volunteering. Or it could simply be about improving their ability to play with friends, compete at sport or take part in hobbies.
   
   
2. Occupational therapists help neurodivergent adults & people with learning disabilities to enjoy life, work and leisure activities as independently as possible.
   These activities range from things around the home, like cooking, or using public transport so they can make the most of their community’s facilities. The goal might be to support people into voluntary work or employment or help with parenting skills. Occupational therapists often look to include other family members and support workers in their approach too – so everyone understands the needs of the individual.
