We commonly support children and adolescents in our Occupational Therapy sessions with their large motor skills.

If your child is struggling with any of the following, OT may be worth exploring:

Difficulty with balance (e.g., trouble standing on one foot, frequent falls)

Challenges in coordination (e.g., clumsiness, bumping into things, difficulty catching/throwing a ball).

Weak core strength and posture (e.g., slouching, fatigue with sitting upright).

Limited endurance for physical activities compared to peers.

Trouble with motor planning (e.g., figuring out how to climb playground equipment or sequence dance steps).

Difficulty with bilateral coordination (e.g., pedaling a bike, skipping, jumping jacks).

Problems with spatial awareness (e.g., misjudging distances, difficulty navigating through spaces).

Delays in age-appropriate gross motor milestones (e.g., running, jumping, hopping, skipping).

As children return to school, we are thinking of all families; whether it brings excitement, nerves, or a mix of both.

Back-to-school looks different for every child, and we are sending care and encouragement to all parents as you support your children through this transition.

⭐ Developing fine motor skills (pincer grasp, hand-eye-coordination, finger dexterity)

⭐ Bilateral coordination (one hand stabilising the other engaged in an active task)

⭐ Visual-motor development (aligning what is seen with what the hand does)

⭐ Planning and sequencing

⭐ Focus and attention

In both our branches, we believe that accurate, meaningful assessments require our team being present with your child in person.

All of our diagnostic assessments are always carried our in-person, face-to-face. This allows our clinicians to observe subtle behaviours, build rapport, and gather the richest possible information to support tailored recommendations.

This approach ensures we provide the highest standard of care for every child and family we work with ❤️

It provides personalised strategies and exercises to improve handwriting legibility, speed, and comfort, making writing easier and more enjoyable for the child at school and home.

These are provided in both our Kent and London branches - please do contact us for more information ✏️

our ADHD/Neurodiversity Coaching sessions will be starting in the London branch in September.

ADHD/Neurodiversity coaching is designed to help children better understand themselves, their challenges and strengths and how neurodivergence affects their lives. Sessions work to build confidence, develop practical strategies to manage challenges – both at home and in school - and find habits and routines that personally work for them.

More information and bookings will be available soon.
