Oldham Children's Occupational Therapy

This service is for children with a physical disability.

The team is based in the Integrated Care Centre and intervention is provided there and in the community, depending on the childs age and reason for referral.

We operate an open referral system for advice about equipment. For other assessments, referrals can be made by GPs, Consultants, Paediatricians and school nurses. 

Children are referred for a variety of problems including dependence in self care, fine motor co-ordination/perceptual/sensory problems, and seating/equipment needs.

Intervention usually consists of assessment and advice.
