What is CYP Occupational Therapy (OT)?
OTs help children and young people to carry out activities (occupations) they need, want, or are expected to do, but are unable to do so. These activities include:
- Self-care
- Education
- Play/leisure
The therapist can provide advice and suggest alternative ways of doing things.
