Community Based Occupational Therapy Groups

2025

I am currently facilitating an occupational therapy group called Make Your Way for children 8-12 years old. This is a five week group with a parent feedback session on week 6. The group goals focus on supporting children to develop their everyday life skills with self care, meal preparation, developing social connections and developing safety awareness in the community. The feedback session provides information to caregivers on using visual supports, grading tasks, sensory preferences, environmental adaptations and creating a safe and comfortable environment to attune to children’s needs to support their participation. Again funding to develop this group came from Teach na nDaoine and Healthy Monaghan.

2024

I was delighted for the opportunity to facilitate occupational therapy groups for children in their local community throughout the year during Easter, Summer and Halloween holidays.

This provided a fantastic opportunity for children to access an inclusive group for free in their local area. The groups were funded though Teach na nDaoine and Healthy Monaghan and is a reflection of the really important role community plays in the life of a child and their family.

Each group was open to all children with additional needs and is integral and innovative in identifying an inclusive space to provide opportunities for children.

I was very really grateful to be part of this initiative.
