Supporting children’s occupational therapy needs

Equipping educators and parents with knowledge and tools

GriffinOT is the one stop online occupational therapy support for schools and families

If you need help supporting children’s occupational therapy needs, then you’re in the right place. GriffinOT’s resources can help you to understand and support sensory processing needs, motor skills and behaviour. There are activity ideas to help handwriting, fine motor skills, balance, ball skills and self-care skills such as dressing, eating and toileting.

GriffinOT’s expertly designed training and resources will equip you with the tools and confidence you need to help your children. All resources are designed by occupational therapist Kim Griffin. The resources will improve your knowledge, give you practical strategies and tips you can use to support children’s occupational needs.

We’re committed to supporting and empowering schools with comprehensive, affordable, and occupational therapy support. Our goal is to make sure no staff feel confused or helpless when supporting children’s sensory or motor skills needs in the classroom.

Kim also has capacity to provide occupational therapy support to schools in the Hillingdon, Houslow and Ealing areas. Contacts start from a minimum of six days a year. Support can be provided for children with EHCPs, individual screenings or whole class or school advice and training.

“All staff working in an education setting should complete Sensory Aware with GriffinOT; it is insightful and grounded in the reality of what our learners feel and experience. The links to autism are particularly helpful.”

Julie, SENCo, UK

“This introductory course to SPD is perfectly pitched: it deals with very complex concepts in a clear, direct way which is accessible to all. I will be adding the full course to my team’s CPD. Many thanks to GriffinOT”

Adam, Headteacher, UK

“I found this course really easy to follow and liked how you could stop and come back to the course over a period of time in order to complete it. It really helped me to understand and support my son’s sensory overload.”

Sarah, Parent, Australia

“The material in the training was clear and understandable, even being unfamiliar with certain terms prior to the course. The videos were engaging and real life examples aided in understanding the topic further.”

Rebecca, Teacher, Ireland

“This course has enabled me to gain a better understanding of our pupil’s sensory behaviours, and as SENCO better support my class teachers who are working hard to meet the needs of all their pupils.”
