0 Reviews

The paediatric Occupational Therapy team provides Assessment, treatment and support to children and young people who have neurological or developmental conditions.

We provide assessments and treatment at Bury Living Well Centre and several local schools, nurseries and homes.

We accept referrals for children up to the age of 18 years, who are registered with a GP in Bury. This support is available up to 25 years old for those in specialist educational provision within Bury.

Our Occupational Therapists have additional specialist knowledge and clinical skills to enable safe and effective Assessment and treatment of babies, children and young people.

We treat a wide range of conditions including Developmental delay, developmental coordination disorder/dyspraxia, neurological and neuromuscular conditions in differing environments. We use a variety of Assessment techniques and provide treatment advice to homes and schools.

We assess for and prescribe specialist equipment for use at home and/or in an educational setting. This includes seating, beds, sleep systems, hand splints, bathing and toileting equipment for under 5 years of age.

We liaise with our colleagues in Disability Services who assess for minor and major home adaptations, they also provide bathing and toileting equipment for over 5 years of age.

We work with the child, parents, carers, and a wide range of other professionals to maximise a child’s functional skills and independence. We work towards maximising independence in daily living skills such as feeding, dressing, and self-care.

For children and young people with special educational needs, we contribute to Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs) which are based around the child and young person’s needs and aspirations.
