Most parents we meet have. You hear the same lines again and again:

“wait and see.”
“He’s fine at school.”
“She’ll grow out of it.”
“It’s nothing to worry about.”

Meanwhile you’re the one dealing with the overwhelm at home. The shutdowns. The meltdowns. The sensory overload. The things no one else sees.

And somehow you end up questioning yourself.

Here’s where WE are different:

We believe what parents tell us about their child.
We listen to parents concerns.
We trust what you notice.

You see your child every day in real life, not for a short clinic session. Your insight is essential, not optional.

And just to be transparent, I’m a parent too.
I know exactly what it feels like to be dismissed and doubt my parenting skills.
And that experience is exactly why parent voice is central in everything we do at Abil-OT!

Here is what you can expect from us:

• No minimising
• No “wait and see” messages
• No making you fight to be heard
• What you say taken seriously from the start

If you’re tired of mixed messages, waiting lists and feeling brushed off, Send us a message. We will tell you clearly what your child actually needs, with no pressure and no guilt.

↗️ Please share this if you’ve ever had to convince someone your child was struggling.

Parents get brushed off far too quickly.
“Sure that’s nothing.”
“He’ll grow out of it.”
“Don’t worry.”

Most of the time, that is just an easy answer instead of actually looking at what is going on.

When YOU notice your child struggling with emotions, movement, regulation, handwriting, focus, or everyday tasks, you are picking up early signs.
Parents see things long before anyone else does.

YOU are not being dramatic.
YOU are not imagining it.
YOU are actually paying attention.

We help you understand what your child is finding hard, long before things reach crisis point.
You do not need a diagnosis.
You do not need to wait.
And you do not need permission to support your child.

If you are unsure where to start, contact us and we will point you in the right direction

Parents tell us almost every week that a professional has advised them not to seek a private assessment or intervention..
Here’s the reality, our families aren’t choosing private because it’s trendy. They’re choosing it because the waitlists are years long and their child is struggling now.

Private doesn’t replace the public system. It fills the gap when a child and their parents need answers, support and clarity sooner.

If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed or unsure what route to take, getting the right information isn’t “jumping the queue”. It’s advocating for your child.

No pressure. Just options.

If you want to understand what an assessment or intervention actually includes, send us a message and we’ll point you in the right direction 🌻

🌞 Morning OT sessions are now open for pre-schoolers!

Struggling with mornings before preschool?
Difficulty sitting to play, holding a pencil, or managing routines?

Our morning OT sessions are designed for pre-schoolers who need extra help with early motor and regulation skills in a fun, supportive setting.

Finally got my window signage up… only took me two years 😅

What actually pushed me to do it wasn’t my own decision — it was the fact that a few different people asked me in the space of a few weeks, “Where are you in Camlough?”

This is where I can identify with my PDA clients. For me — the second it becomes “must do”, my brain senses ANOTHER demand. But when the demand comes from the outside world in a way that actually makes sense (aka people can’t find me 😬), suddenly it feels easier.

It’s not that I didn’t want it, I’ve loved my clinic from day one. But my “must do” list is never ending. And when something makes it feel “too real” or too official, my brain hits a wall. Every time someone said “you should put your new logo in your window,” I just… couldn’t.

Now that it’s finally up, I actually feel emotional, and very proud! It’s like I’ve (we as a team) caught up with what we’ve built. Two years of graft, stress, growth, and a lot of avoiding 🤣❤️

OT Bingo Challenge: Can you tick them all off today? 🧠

These quick, play-based activities might look like fun but they’re secretly building your child’s coordination, balance, planning, strength and regulation 💪✨

💡 How to use it:
✅ Try 1–2 in the morning to boost focus and readiness.
✅ Do 1–2 in the evening to support calming before bed.

The goal isn’t to finish the board, it’s those small, consistent bursts of sensory and motor input that make the biggest difference 💫

📊 Try this: Track it for 3 days and notice the difference — then tell us which activities made mornings or evenings easier 👇
