We are open during COVID 19

Meet our Children's occupational therapists

 

We have a team of seven experienced occupational therapists. We also have rotational occupational therapists who join our team for six months, and we support occupational therapy students with placements.  We cover all of Barnsley.   

Our occupational therapists work with children and young people who have difficulties with their practical skills needed for their everyday life.  They aim to enable the child or young person to be as independent as possible.  Our occupational therapists see children and young people in in clinics, schools, nurseries and at home.  We do this by providing:

  • Intervention and/or advice to promote fine motor skills and coordination.
  • Intervention and/or advice to promote visual perceptual skills.
  • Intervention and/or advice to promote self care skills.
  • Intervention and/or advice to support sensory needs.
  • Assessment and advice regarding equipment and adaptations to aid activities of daily living.
