Is There Anything I Can Do to Start Helping My Child Who Is On A Waiting List for Occupational Therapy or Speech & Language Therapy?

by Jennifer Lonergan

Book a time to chat online with one of our therapists:

  1. Whilst you are waiting you are welcome to book any last-minute available appointments for a consultation with one of our therapy team at Sensational Kids,  so that you can get some immediate guidance to support your child’s challenges.

Every Friday, we update our online appointment availability with therapy times that might become available for the following week due to last minute cancellations. Please also check with your local child development centre by phone directly for the most up to date information as we often get last minute cancellations when children are sick and a therapist might be then free for an online call with you to give you some guidance and advice to support your child.

 

Flexible online learning:

  1. Please also check our self-paced workshop and e-learning platform which offers a range of guidance and supports on specific topics that might be beneficial. These short workshops offer you the flexibility to learn at a time and place that suits your own schedule. We know how busy life can be as a parent of a child with additional needs.

 

Avail of OT Power Hour:

  1. OT Power Hour appointments offer your child a once-off in-person occupational therapy appointment as a way to help children who are on waiting lists.

You and your child will meet with an occupational therapist at Sensational Kids, Kildare Town, for an hour. During this time the therapist will do undertake a screening of your child’s challenges and based on that they will provide you with specific take-home strategies tailored to your child’s needs, that you can start working on straight away.

The appointments are open to all children and parents who might want to avail of this valuable support get things started.

Appointments take place at our child development centre in Kildare Town.

 

Appointment availability for online booking is updated weekly on Fridays but please also contact us directly to book over the phone and to get the most up to date availability.
