Nottinghamshire Disability Family Support Occupational Therapy
County-wide specialist occupational therapy helping disabled children achieve independence at home.
The team works daily through a duty point to ensure families can get the advice and assessments they need to manage their child's care safely at home.
About this service
The Nottinghamshire Disability Family Support Occupational Therapy team serves children and young people across the county who have permanent and substantial disabilities. Based within the Integrated Children’s Disability Service, they provide a lifeline for families navigating the practical difficulties of disability in the home. The therapists conduct detailed assessments to understand a child's developmental stage and their physical needs, recommending interventions that can range from simple aids to complex structural home adaptations. Their goal is to help every child develop to their full potential while ensuring that parents and carers can provide care safely and sustainably. Whether it is helping a child manage personal care more independently or advising on major works like installing a through-floor lift, the team provides professional and empathetic support. By focusing on the unique home environment of each family, they help create a supportive space where children can flourish and gain confidence in their daily lives.
