Kids OT Works is an East Midlands based independent Occupational Therapy service for children and young people. We have extensive experience, providing a wide range of services to children and young people, presenting with diverse and different needs.

Our core values are to ensure a client centred, effective and reliable service to help your child reach their full potential. We aim to be occupation focused, setting achievable goals to help children manage everyday tasks and do the things they need and like to do.

We strive to work with the whole team around the child, both within the independent sector and NHS, including teachers and educationalists, speech and language therapists, physiotherapists, clinical psychologists and case managers.
