Occupational therapists work with adults and children of all ages who have a wide range of conditions. Most commonly, they help those living with mental health conditions, or physical or learning disabilities. Some Occupational Therapists help babies, infants, children and young people grow, learn, have fun, socialise and play – so they can develop, thrive and reach their full potential. The focus could be on self-care, like getting ready to go out, eating a meal or using the toilet. It could be around being productive – going to nursery or school, or volunteering. Or it could simply be about improving their ability to play with friends, compete at sport or take part in hobbies. In the video below, you can listen to Occupational Therapists from our Children and Young People services, Elaine and Jan, talk about their roles, and the different stages of development, occupations and transitions an Occupational Therapy can help with to improve the lives of our children and young people. #occupationaltherapyweek

?? OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY AND PLAY There is a reason that pediatric Occupational Therapy centers on play. Play is the most essential occupations of childhood and it’s a natural medium for achieving goals and prompting kids to work toward goals that may seem lofty, unnatural, or hard. Occupational Therapy goals are often included in pediatric OT interventions as the actions that come with play work to achieve the underlying areas needed for play as well as other areas of function. ?? OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY PLAY ACTIVITIES A child’s occupation is play. The focus of Occupational Therapists is meeting the needs of their clients so that they can reach functional goals. When it comes to kids, play is the main means of learning, development, interacting, and growth. A child uses play to build skills needed for every aspect of their development. When a child is limited in the underlying skills needed to play, not only does their functional ability to build with blocks, color, pretend, imagine, and create suffer, but all of the skills they potentially acquire may be limited as well.
