Frequently asked questions
What is OT?
Occupational therapy helps children and young people grow, learn and have fun so that they can develop and thrive. OT focuses on the development of skills needed for everyday activities. This can include gross motor coordination, fine motor skills, self-care skills, cognitive skills, visual motor and perceptual skills and sensory processing needs. These skills help children with tasks that they may find challenging in both the home and school environment.

To keep everyone in the room safe
To keep the equipment safe
To have fun
Is there parking nearby?
The easiest place to park is in the central Farnham Sainsbury’s. Once you have parked, walk towards the doors of Sainsbury’s but turn right before you go in. Follow the footpath round the corner and you’ll find yourself in Cambridge Place. We’re easy to spot due to the bright colours of our signs!
