Children's Choice Therapy Service

Children's Choice Therapy Service Independent Occupational Therapy for children. Educational, Health contracts and working on individual requests. Founded Nov 2010.

Children's Occupational Therapy
Assessment, Treatment and Training

With nearly 20 years experience as an Occupational Therapist within the NHS, both in clinical and managerial work, and the last 10 of those within Children’s services (including establishing and providing services within children’s centres) I have seen the impacts that can be made on children’s and family’s lives. Physical, perceptual and sensory difficulties can prevent children from participating in daily living tasks (eg dressing, feeding etc.), playing with peers, interacting in classroom or other activities (including pencil and scissor skills), as well as impede self esteem, and can affect the whole family. Although the NHS provides excellent Children’s services locally, they remain under great pressure leading to gaps in service, and often waiting lists.

‘Children’s Choice Therapy Service’ aims to offer to children, parents and other services the choice and availability of Children’s Occupational Therapy Services within the independent sector, to compliment NHS and educational services, or to meet needs not currently provided. Assessments can be carried out at home, school, or within chosen environments. Treatments may be provided individually or within a group if available. As an Occupational Therapist I am Health Professions Council Registered, and have Sensory Integration accreditation.

If your child has difficulties with eating and drinking you might want to join our next online sensory feeding course on Thursday 26th November from 5.30-7pm.
Feeding is an intricate combination and coordination of skills. It is the single most complex and physically demanding task an infant will complete for the first few weeks, and even months, of life. Many children with sensory sensitivities have eating and drinking difficulties. Difficulties can range from a very restricted or limited diet (due to taste or dislike of how it feels) to mouthing or chewing objects (food and non-food). Having big reactions to different foods and smells and struggling to sit in an upright position.
This online course will discuss the many different difficulties children with sensory sensitivities have with eating foods, the processes for ‘sensory eating’ and help parents to develop practical at home strategies to help children eat a wider range of foods.
The course will be delivered by Sarah Terry, Occupational Therapy Sensory Practitioner, and Sequential Oral Sensory (SOS) trained therapist.

Cost is £15 per person (£25 per couple) payable in advance.

And that's a wrap... retirement from clinical OT work. What a privilege across health care of the elderly, medical and surgical, neurology, oncology, community paediatrics and then children's choice therapy for the last 16 years. What a ride! What amazing opportunities. What wonderful people I have met and worked alongside. Thank you to you all, and for the many kind messages and love. Watch this space for how CCT develops under Jess Quinn. Thanks all and to the wonderful team ###. ALISON HART
