Paediatrics

As an SI therapist and pedagogue with over 20 years of clinical experience, I know firsthand how complex and time-consuming the sensory processing diagnostic workflow can be. Balancing clinical insights, psychological factors, and pedagogical observations while keeping precise records is a massive daily challenge.

​To bridge this gap, I decided to combine my decades of clinical practice with my background in software development to create a tool built specifically for our community: an innovative, comprehensive SI Diagnostic Application. 🚀

​What is this tool?

​It is a specialized digital platform designed to streamline pedagogical-psychological-medical SI diagnostics. It helps practitioners manage assessments efficiently, supports early intervention strategies, and ensures structured, accurate data tracking for every patient.

​The core system is ready, and you can access it instantly in your browser. I am looking for fellow SI practitioners, occupational therapists, and specialized centers to:

📢 Hia, I’m currently completing my dissertation and I’m seeking parents whose child has had Neonatal Occupational Therapy within the last fifteen years (previously five years) to take part in a short survey.

⚠️The survey is completely anonymous and shouldn’t take more than 6 to 8 minutes to complete.

🔍 The survey explores parents’ perspectives, and your input would be incredibly valuable and appreciated.

Hey all,

Is anyone else here in a similar role to me ⬆️ .

Support for children & families is so overlapping and needed that I’ve recently turned to private practice. Mostly to serve parents carers and surrogates in need of queer and neurodivergent affirming support.

If anyone else is doing something like this or maybe even something a little different - please reach out to me on social or here. I’m OT Intuition On FB. :) The Intuitive OT Collective

Participants needed!

For my MSc pre-registration occupational therapy dissertation I am exploring OTs experiences of using video conferencing to deliver services to children and young people.

If you:

• Are a HCPC registered OT

• Have used video conferencing to deliver OT services to children and young people in the UK

I would really like to hear about your experiences in an online survey.

Participants needed!

Are you a UK based paediatric OT who has delivered services using MS Teams or similar online platforms? If so, I would love to hear about your experiences.

I am a MSc Occupational Therapy student at the University of Winchester and am interested in exploring practitioners’ experiences of using telehealth to deliver interventions to children and their families. As an increasing number of healthcare services are delivered online, your input will shed light on practitioners’ experiences of this shift.

If you are interested in finding out more about this study or sharing your experiences with me in an interview, please email me at: b.crouch.24@unimail.winchester.ac.uk

This study has received approval from the University of Winchester Ethics committee (ref. HWB-OT-0825BC).

Thank you so much for your time.

Hello all, I have a practice and I’m looking for freelance paediatric OT’s who would be available to start from September in various areas within London, UK. Ideally the person has capacity of up to 1 weekday a week which is where we would expect caseload to build up to. Work is very flexible with £45 per hour pay. If interested do email with your CV and expression of interest: hello.londonoccupationaltherapy@gmail.com

Hello, everyone! My name is Imani, and I am a second-year occupational therapy doctoral student. As part of my capstone project, I am exploring the role of dance/movement therapy in pediatric therapy as a sensory integration tool to improve sensory processing, executive function, and social cohesion among children with sensory imbalance conditions, such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD) or sensory processing disorder (SPD). If you are a pediatric therapist, I would appreciate any insight into current sensory-based interventions used in practice and how dance can be considered as an alternative therapy form to improve outcomes and self-regulation for children with sensory sensitivities. Thank you!

Hi there,

As an OT who works in the peadiatric field, the using of smartphones is increasing in children and I observe that it affects postural control. I found this journal from Brazil, and very eye-opening for me as an OT.

As one of the areas of occupational performance, sleep is the last area we pay attention to. Dr. Jamie Chaves, OTD, OTR/L, SWC talks about sleep and it relation with sensory processing here in this article.

Please share your personal experience as an OT who works with peadiatric about it.

As practising occupational therapists, we'd like to understand how the wider OT workforce feels it could better deliver for those it supports. Select one or more options below, to cast your vote!
