West Lothian Children and Young People’s (CYP) Occupational Therapy
What is Occupational Therapy?
Occupational therapy is a healthcare profession dedicated to helping individuals engage in the activities they need and want to do in their daily lives.
Occupational Therapists (OTs) use meaningful everyday tasks—known as occupations—to support health, well-being, and participation in life’s important moments.
OTs work in a wide range of areas with patients of all ages and abilities. Our team specialises in working with Children and Young People (CYP).
What is Children and Young People’s (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 strategies and advice, and suggest alternative ways of doing things.
