The service is there to support the whole family, focusing on making daily life easier and safer for everyone involved in a child's care.
About this service
The Nottingham City Children’s Disability Occupational Therapy service is a vital component of local support for families caring for a child with complex needs or a permanent disability. Their primary focus is to help children and young people carry out the activities of daily living as independently and safely as possible within their home environment. By conducting thorough assessments, the Occupational Therapists identify where specialist equipment, such as seating or bathing aids, or minor and major home adaptations, like grab rails or ramps, could make a significant difference. They work closely with parents and carers to find practical solutions to everyday challenges, such as personal care, mobility, and safe handling. The team aims to improve the overall quality of life for the entire family by reducing physical strain on carers and fostering a sense of agency and independence for the child. Their compassionate and expert guidance helps ensure that every child's home is a place where they can thrive.
