Occupational Therapy is concerned with promoting a balanced range of occupations to enhance health and wellbeing. Occupations refer to everything people do in the course of their daily life. Paediatric Occupational Therapists work with Children and Young People (CYP) aged 0-18 who have difficulties functioning in daily living activities due to illness, injury, developmental difficulties or neurodisability (e.g. physical disabilities, autism).

The Ealing Paediatric Occupational Therapy Service is committed to ensure a child and their family are able to function in all aspects of their lives to their maximum potential: self-care (e.g. dressing to go out, eating a meal, using the toilet), productivity / educational attainment (e.g. playing for young children, attending school) and leisure / socialisation (e.g. playing with friends, participating in sports) etc.
