We had our appointment with Claire today and I just want to tell you how amazing she was! It normally takes Oliver a while to warm up to new people but within minutes he loved her! I feel like I understand Oliver and his behaviours so much more after meeting with Claire just once. You have no idea what this means to me.

Our clients have benefitted greatly from the highly skilled team at The OT Practice. They are able to pull together a therapeutic team for a client that provides timely interventions that are sensitive to individuals needs.
Family Focused Case Management
I received a prompt and informative reply to my request for information about the services they offer and how they would be able to meet the needs of the children in our very large primary school. We have been delighted with the service that we have received from the extremely knowledgeable Occupational Therapist and many children and staff have benefitted greatly.

The OT Practice works efficiently and quickly, demonstrated by the paperwork and reports that were completed accurately and in a timely manner. They are friendly and professional at all times with clients, staff in the team and in other departments. I would not hesitate to recommend the work of The OT Practice.
