Access the service

The Occupational Therapists are always happy to speak to anyone who has questions about a child/young person. We recommended you contact either the parental advice line or professional’s enquiry line prior to making a request for assistance to avoid unnecessary waits for support.

We recommend that you also have a look at our resources section for strategies. 

 

Professionals enquiry line

Are you a professional who works with children and young people who has questions about a child's motor skills, attention, sensory differences or participation in daily activities?

There are various ways in which support might be offered. These could include:

  • Providing reassurance, advice and support
  • Providing information e.g. health promotion, self management
  • Signposting to other services / community resources / groups
  • Consultation Session (e.g. face to face, video conferencing or telephone)
  • Assessment and intervention

This information can then be shared with key individuals in the child/young person’s life as appropriate. 

Request for assistance form

With appropriate consent, Requests for Assistance to Children and Young People’s Occupational Therapy Service can be made by anyone who has concerns including parents / carers, school staff and Health and Social Care professionals. Your request will be reviewed by an Occupational Therapist and you will be contacted to discuss next steps. The purpose of this is to gather information to identify what help you feel you need and how we might be able to help.

Request for assistance form

If you need any support in filling in this form or require it in a different format, please contact: 01383 674124 or e-mail us at fife.otchildren@nhs.scot.
