The Children's Occupational Therapy Service in Haringey is an NHS-run service that helps children develop independence and participate as much as possible in daily activities like school, play, and self-care, such as dressing, using the toilet, and eating.
The service offers assessments, advice, and interventions for children aged 0-19 with neuro-developmental difficulties or complex special needs. They provide care at the Tynemouth Road Health Centre, in homes and schools, and through online sessions and phone consultations.
How to get support if you're a parent or carer:
Parents or carers cannot self-refer to this service. Referrals must come from healthcare or educational professionals.
If you need a referral, please speak to the Special Educational Needs and Disabilities Coordinator (SENDCo) at your child's school or a healthcare professional.
Free online sessions on Sensory Differences and Behaviour.
The service offers free online sessions every 2-3 months to explain sensory processing differences and how to support children with them.
No referral is needed for these sessions if you are a parent living in Haringey.
