OT 4 Kids with DCD

OT 4 Kids with DCD Friendly and welcoming environment. I have been a Paediatric Occupational Therapist since 1997 having qualified as an O.T in 1996.

A highly skilled specialist independent Occupational Therapist with a vast experience of children with DCD/Dyspraxia/Handwriting/Perceptual/Daily Living Skill issues. At present, I worked as an NHS O.T, for 22 years but left in 2018 to become a fully independent OT. My work as a paediatric O.T is diverse but I specialise in mainstream settings and children with DCD/ Dyspraxia. I carry out standardised assessments in gross and fine motor skills, handwriting, and perception as well as gait and mobility. Please feel free to contact me to discuss any aspects that may be causing you concern with your child's development, through phone, email or website. I am able to offer flexibility of appointments in terms of days and times, including weekends. I also offer professional supervision and can assess towards evidence for DSA/PIP. Arrangements can also be made for SI/SPD assessments and I have links with colleges who can provide speech and language therapy, dyslexia assessments and further paediatric services. Just contact me and ask, as I am happy to help in any way i can.

It’s National ! οΏ½

Last week, we marked , recognising the vital contribution of occupational therapists across the UK.

Now, we’re celebrating how OTs make a difference every day - helping people recover, adapt and live independently. From rehabilitation and mental health support to helping children and older adults thrive, their work touches every part of life.

Thank you to every OT for your continued commitment to safe and effective care. οΏ½

I always believe in being open and honest, so apologies i have been slightly AWOL on socials and not as responsive to emails etc currently. My mum has been in and out of hospital really poorly for the past 9 weeks and being down in Norfolk has meant i have been trying to juggle being in two places at once.

Apologies as i know my work has suffered and being someone who prides themselves on their professionalism it’s been really hard to give my all to everyone.

I am back this weekend so please do bear with me as i get into it all once again and play catch up!

That said please do not hesitate to contact me if you wish to book an assessment in, appointments are available mid to late November unless you have some flexibility of days!

A massive thank you to those that i have rearranged or had to cancel literally last minute, i really do appreciate all the kindness ive been shown πŸ’œNicky Xx

Our Story

I have been a Paediatric Occupational Therapist since 1997 having qualified as an O.T in 1996 and working in the NHS for the last 22 years. My work as a paediatric O.T has been diverse but I specialise in mainstream settings and children with DCD, I carry out standardised assessments in gross and fine motor skills, handwriting, Dysgraphia, activities of daily living and perception as well as gait and mobility. I am now working as an independent OT. Please feel free to contact me to discuss any aspects that may be causing you concern with your child's development, through phone, email or website. I am able to offer flexibility of appointments in terms of days and times and will consider weekend appointments if it makes attending my clinic easier. I also offer professional supervision and small equipment loan. I can assess towards evidence for DSA/ PIP for undergraduate students. Arrangements can also be made for SI/SPD assessments and I have links with further colleagues who can provide Speech and language assessments and Dyslexia and learning assessments..... just contact me and ask, I'm only too happy to help in any way I can.
