The role of the WVT occupational therapists is to assess, evaluate, advise and/or provide intervention for children and young people (aged 0 to 18 or 19, if in special education), whose participation in activities of daily living (including self-care, play, leisure and school) is significantly compromised by physical, motor, sensory or learning difficulties.
The service supports children and young people (aged 0 to 18 or 19, if in special education), where there are barriers in the physical environment at home or nursery/school that impact on function i.e. access to building and facilities, transfers, seating for function.
