We have some exciting news to share 💚

Manchester Occupational Therapy Services is now listed on the Brain Injury Group Service Directory.

Supporting someone following a brain injury can involve many different challenges, from managing everyday activities and routines to fatigue, mobility, returning to work or education and becoming independent.

Our Occupational Therapy team works with children, young people and adults to understand what matters most to them and provide practical, individualised assessment and rehabilitation.

We’re really pleased that people affected by brain injury, their families and the professionals supporting them can now find out more about our services through Brain Injury Group

A lot of parents get in touch in September, and a great many of them open with the same sentence: I do not really know what happens next.

So here is what an Occupational Therapy assessment actually looks like.

It starts with a conversation with you. Before anyone meets your child, we talk to you, usually by phone, about a typical day. Getting dressed, mealtimes, sleep, homework, the school run, the parts that cause friction.

Then we meet your child somewhere that makes sense. Home, our clinic in Stockport, or school - wherever we are most likely to see how they function rather than how they perform in an unfamiliar room.

We use a mix of standardised assessments and informal observation, and where it is useful and agreed with you, we speak to the people around them.

Afterwards you receive a written report with our findings in plain language with strategies you can use and recommendations for what might help next.

There is no obligation to go any further afterwards. Plenty of families come away with a clearer picture and a few practical changes, and that is a perfectly good outcome.

If September has brought a worry into focus, we are happy to talk it through before you commit to anything. Call 0161 532 2524 or visit www.manchester-occupational-therapy-services.co.uk

Most falls at home are not dramatic. They happen on familiar ground, doing something ordinary, often in the few metres between the front door and the kitchen.

When an Occupational Therapist walks through someone's home, we are not ticking hazards off a checklist. We are watching how that particular person actually moves through the space, and noticing where it gets harder.

In a hallway, that usually means:

Lighting. Can it be switched on from both ends, and is it bright enough at the point where the floor level changes?

Flooring. Rugs that slide, thresholds between rooms, and the strip of carpet at the bottom of the stairs where people turn.

Something to hold. Whether there is anything at the right height at the point where someone naturally reaches out (which is not always where a rail was easiest to fit).

Small changes in the right places can make a real difference to how confident someone feels moving around their own home.

If you are worried about a parent, a partner or yourself, we would be glad to talk about what might help them keep hold of, or regain their independence.

For a neurodivergent child or a child with additional needs, school lunch can be a particularly challenging part of the day, and it's not something that gets talked about a lot.

Imagine it - thirty minutes. A hall full of noise. A queue. Packaging to open, a tray to carry, cutlery to manage, smells that may be overwhelming, friends to talk to, and a bell that goes before you have finished.

For plenty of children it is fine. For some it is the point in the day where everything stacks up, and what comes home is a lunchbox that has barely been touched.

Four things worth checking:

Can they actually open it? Yoghurt lids, cling film, crisp packets and screw-top bottles all need hand strength and coordination. Practise at home, or send things already opened.

Is there enough time? Some children need the food that is quickest to eat rather than the food that is most balanced. That trade is usually worth making.

Is it the room rather than the food? Noise, smell and crowding do more damage at lunchtime than most people realise. Many schools will find a quieter space if asked.

Can they manage the tray and the queue? Carrying a full tray across a busy hall while keeping your place in a line is a real motor planning task.

A barely eaten lunchbox is information, we can help you use it to get to the bottom of your child's issues with mealtimes.

Call 0161 532 2524 or visit www.manchester-occupational-therapy-services.co.uk to talk about how we can help gain confidence and manage at lunch.
