Your Occupational
Therapy Appointment
This social story is designed to help your child prepare for their
appointment by understanding where they are going and what to
expect. We recommend reading it through with them in advance.

This is the Bury living well centre. It is a big building painted red, blue and yellow.

You will walk through a blue gate, in between two brick pillars.

Then you will come through the green doors.

You will then press the button on the right and wait in front of the white doors, until staff member lets you inside.

There may be a staff member at this desk, who will ask you some questions about why you are here.

Next, you will sit on a purple chair in this waiting area. You may need to wait a few minutes until the therapist is ready.

When your therapist is ready, they will walk you through this brown door.

Your occupational therapist will be wearing a white top and green trousers.

You will then walk through this corridor. You can follow the yellow fish on the blue floor.

Your therapist will then take you through this door to the therapy room.

Your occupational therapy will take place in this large room.

In the therapy room, your therapist will ask you questions, so that they can understand you better.

Your therapist may ask you to do some fun games and activities in the therapy room.

When your appointment has finished, we will say goodbye and you will follow the fish to leave the building.
