Our approach
Attuned OT uses a neurodiversity-affirming approach that celebrates each child's unique strengths while addressing their challenges. Rather than trying to "fix" or "normalise" neurodivergent traits, sessions focus on building strategies that align with the child's needs, autonomy, and self-identity. The service uses a capacity-building model that combines direct therapy with regular communication with parents and support networks to embed strategies into daily life. Sessions support areas including emotional and sensory regulation, daily living skills, social communication, motor skills, and managing school transitions. The approach is also grounded in Dr Ross Greene's 'Kids Do Well If They Can' philosophy, which recognises that children's challenges often stem from unmet needs or skills yet to develop, rather than intentional behaviour.
Working with families
Family involvement is central to Attuned OT's approach. The service emphasises regular contact and communication with parents and support networks to help embed therapy strategies into daily life. Parents and carers are recognised as primary supports, and the provider is committed to ensuring they feel supported, heard, and validated throughout the process. Working collaboratively with the client's wider care team, including informal and formal support networks, is considered crucial. Sessions include parent and caregiver support as a key service offering, alongside capacity-building approaches that share knowledge about neurodiversity and its impacts.
