Hi there. Sorry but the best thing to do Tina is probably to contact the local hospitals and mental health teams or the social care OTs. I don’t work in a way that would give you the insight you need. Good luck – Jen

Hi there, I am a swimming teacher looking to retrain as an occupational therapist. I am looking for some observation experience if that is at all possible. Or if not, if I could be pointed in the right direction that would be greatly appreciated. Kind regards, Tina.

Hi Alison
Thanks for getting in touch. I am not a sensory OT but have you spoken with Linda Plowden, an SI OT in Bristol who probably has helpful contacts? Her website is http://www.therapyspacebristol.co.uk/ and her mobile is 0117 9079189 or 07887 366747. Susi Sandford might also be able to help as she does some work in SGlos her email address is sandfordsuzi@gmail.com . The other thought is to go to the COTSS-IP website which has a listing of independent OTs. Hope that helps somewhat

Hello, I am an adoption support worker employed by above county council. We have a number of children who have a sensory processing disorder who I think would benefit from an assessment and follow up work.
Would anyone be interested in working with family’s in Gloucestershire?
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
