Occupational Therapy
Future Assured Special School
Our Occupational Therapy
Occupational therapy (OT) is a type of therapy that helps people of all ages to participate in the activities they need and want to do. For children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), occupational therapy can play a crucial role in helping them to develop the skills they need to succeed in school and beyond.
- OT for SEND students typically involves working with an occupational therapist to identify areas where the child may be struggling, such as fine motor skills, sensory processing, or social interaction. The therapist will then work with the child to develop a personalized plan that addresses these areas of need. This may involve activities such as playing games, doing puzzles, or practicing specific exercises.
- One of the key benefits of OT for SEND students is that it can help them to become more independent and self-sufficient. By developing their skills in areas such as self-care, organization, and time management, students can become more confident and better able to handle the challenges of daily life.
- Another important aspect of OT for SEND students is that it can help to improve their academic performance. By developing their fine motor skills, for example, students may be better able to write neatly and accurately. By improving their sensory processing skills, they may be better able to focus on classroom tasks and avoid distractions.

At Future Assured Special School, our team of experienced occupational therapists works closely with each child to develop a personalized plan that addresses their specific needs. We use evidence-based practices and innovative techniques to help children improve their sensory processing skills.
Overall, occupational therapy can be a valuable tool for helping SEND students to reach their full potential both inside and outside the classroom.
In addition to our specialized curriculum and therapy services, we also offer support for parents and caregivers. We understand that caring for a child with SEND can be challenging, which is why we provide resources and guidance to help families navigate this journey.
