Thumbs up! - Paediatric Occupational Therapy in London

Thumbs up! provides Occupational Therapy in the home environment for children and young adults between the ages of 1 and 20 years. Sessions are held on a weekly basis and a variety of therapeutic approaches including sensory integration, gross & fine motor activities are used. Through games and activities the child gets creative, which improves self confidence, emotional well being and social and emotional skills.

School visits are also part of the therapeutic approach especially when the child is struggling within the school environment. Parent support and their involvement in the sessions is a vital part of the therapeutic intervention. Parents are guided to support their child with learning, concentration, focus, sensory processing and motor development.
