"Made such a difference to my son"

Paediatric OT services in the south have made such a difference to my son, not just now, but also when he was first diagnosed with DCD. My son is 13 right now and waiting for an autism assessment. He has been struggling with fatigue and missing a lot of school.

Kirsty has been working with my son, and has such a lovely way of guiding and supporting him to make good choices. I love how she has the ability to build the relationship with my son, and has some great ideas to help support him. When she worked with him when he was 5 years old, Kirsty used his interests to make the exercises fun!

Now, she is supporting him to attend school more often, whilst still allowing him some autonomy over his decisions, and this is the difference. He is not just being told what would work, she is including him in the decision making process.

Kirsty has also managed to get an appointment with a paediatric doctor, which means the world as previously paediatrics at cross house refused to see my son. I really do value the difference she has, and continues to make in his life.

Thank you Kirsty for all you...you are an incredible clinician. From one slightly less stressed out mum!
