Developing independence in everyday activities such as dressing, toileting, mealtimes and play
-
Working on specific fine motor areas such as reaching, grasp and manipulation of objects, upper limb sensory awareness and handwriting

Recommending specialised equipment to help with function, participation and achieving goals E.g., special cutlery, sensory or bathing equipment
-
Recommending adaptations to the child’s environment to help with safety, access and independence
-
Providing advice around play including suitable activities, games and toys
