Occupational Therapy health information aims to be a practical, user-friendly and time-efficient resource for therapists to use in conjunction with an occupational therapy program. The package consists of information and activity idea sheets that are based on collective evidence-based clinical experience and current resources and journals. The package uses a standardised format and illustrations are used to enhance the understanding of the information. The activity ideas aim to be practical and fun and many can be incorporated into everyday tasks. It is intended that individual therapists will highlight the specific activities that are most suitable for each child and emphasize the correct way to do the activities. Home program sheet templates are also included in the package.
