My son was getting OT from he was 3 years old in the Belfast Trust we then moved to Newtownabbey he got into a new school in p1. It was on his statement he was to receive OT, I went through the school for nearly 2 years to where there was still no update on him receiving OT. The next thing when I was through to someone at OT it turns out he was took off the list for no reason whatsoever.
After waiting so long this was so frustrating to hear. I was then told that I would have to attend an OT workshop that wouldn’t be near me to the following year. I then yesterday attended a workshop to find out that I could refer him myself again to which I had no idea.
I find that access to OT is absolutely ridiculous and 3 years now my son has gone without and when I refer him again it will probable be another lengthy wait until he actually sees someone.
