Nurturing Mind, Brightening Future
In Relation to Occupational Therapy...
A stitch in Time Saves Nine.
This book can also be a valuable resource for Occupational Therapists as a list of things to remember when assessing a child.
Assess Your Child's Needs
Sometimes you can notice that your children's challenge is hard to identify. Like you know they are struggling but you don't know what might be causing it. This book is a little guide to help you or your OT figure out what that challenge might be.
Why Should You Have This Book?
Your Child is Having Some Difficulty:
If your child is finding things difficult, and you can't quite figure out what that is. This book might be able to identify what is causing that difficulty.
Age Appropriate Suggestions:
Similarly, after identifying an issue, the book offers suggestions to support your child, while also considering the age and developmental stage of the child.
Occupational Therapy POV:
Written by a senior Occupational Therapist with many years of experience. This book is focused on Occupational Therapy based assessment and intervention. This does not replace an Occupational Therapist, however.
Companion App Available:
If you would rather do it digitally via a phone app, we also have a mobile app that can give you the same. It's called Locus Therapy and you can find it here;
What's Inside?
As you can see from the images above, the book explains how to use it and offers suggestions based on what you find from your assessment. These suggestions also vary depending on the age of the child.
35 euros is a lot less than what you would pay to visit a private occupational therapist. If this can do or support that job then, it may be worth the price.
