Movement
If your child has problems with sitting up, walking, handling objects, or using certain parts of their body compared to other children the same age, your health visitor or GP may refer you to a physiotherapist or occupational therapist.
A physiotherapist will help your child with issues around their movement and will provide advice and support with any exercises or activities that would help as well.
Children’s Occupational Therapy
An occupational therapist will be able to assess your child’s needs to see what help and equipment your child may need to help them with all their daily tasks.
