Occupational therapy can take place at home, at nursery, at school or at our clinic. Most of Outloud’s current clients are children, but we can provide occupational therapy for people of all ages.
Occupational therapy for children
Purposeful, goal-directed play is often used in children’s occupational therapy. Play at just the right level motivates children to keep practising and experience success. Outloud’s clinic is based at Tampereen Kuntoutuspaja. Its spaces encourage play and activity, with a gym for activities that help organise sensory information, a range of workshop and art facilities, and a therapy kitchen.
