-
Schools – Our team deliver expert care to both state and private schools, working collaboratively with staff to ensure that students maximise their potential.
-
Charities – We proudly deliver services to charities throughout the UK, including supporting with grant funding applications or arranging major home adaptations.

Local Education Authorities – We regularly provide assessments and treatment on behalf of LEAs, whether requested by a school or part of an EHCP.

Solicitors & Case Managers – Our Paediatric OTs provide assessments, reports and treatment for children to many of the country’s leading firms.
