The Occupational Therapy support provided at Clifton school aims to improve student's functional performance skills in relation to their engagement with learning activities. This may include specific interventions and strategies designed to improve aspects of fine and gross motor skills for the purpose of participating in play and learning activities. We might also support a child to carry out essential self-care tasks such as managing to change for P.E lessons, accessing the toileting facilities and using cutlery to feed themselves at lunchtime.
