Working with families
The OT Group prioritises ongoing client relationships and individual family needs and goals, with therapists frequently collaborating and sharing progress updates with parents and caregivers. The team celebrates achievements and communicates regularly with families about therapy outcomes and their child's progress. Therapists work alongside parents to advocate for their child and design therapy plans that fit with family circumstances. Sessions can take place in home, school and community settings, allowing for integration of therapy into the family's everyday routines. The approach emphasises partnership with families throughout the intervention process.
