Develop My Child provides Occupational Therapy and Speech & Language Therapy for children and young people up to age 25.
Our approach is person centred and therapy led. We develop an understanding of each individual’s unique situation with them, their family and support team around them to design therapeutic packages to meet their needs.
This focuses on individual goals and outcomes rather than templated pathways or packages.
We work in home settings and in educational settings including nurseries, primary and secondary schools, colleges and EOTAS (Education Other Than At School) provisions.
