Fresh air is so important for children everyday - it can help to boost mood, increase energy, improve sleep, support with natural melatonin production and greatly contributes to overall good health.

It can be difficult, however, when it is so cold and rainy to get outside, but just 15-20 minutes can make a huge difference. Scavenger hunts outside in the garden, or park, or even just on a quick walk are a great idea for outdoor activities. Here is an idea of one which you can adapt with more challenging items for older kids too! 🍁

Our Paediatric Occupational Therapy (OT) service helps children and young people develop the skills they need to take part in everyday life. Occupational Therapy focuses on building independence, confidence and wellbeing by supporting children to do the things that matter most to them; whether that’s looking after themselves, learning at school, or playing with friends.

Our clinic can support with:

• Sensory processing and regulation
• Dyspraxia / Developmental Co-ordination Disorder
• Down syndrome
• Developmental delays
• Autism (diagnosed, or awaiting possible diagnosis)
• Handwriting / fine motor skills
• Balance / co-ordination
• Self-care skills; for example, dressing / using cutlery / going to the toilet
• ADHD
• Organisational / daily living skills
• Social integration
• Visual perception difficulties

If your child is experiencing difficulties doing things or carrying out everyday tasks that they want to do, or are expected to do, whether this is due to illness (physical or mental), disability, life changes, or just simply because they are finding something tricky and you are not sure why, Occupational Therapy can help.

Please contact us to book in your child’s sessions.

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).
