Therapy and Support

empowering parents and professional to form a team around the child to fulfil goals and reach potential

Following the Assessment process, I offer monthly or six weekly intervention and support sessions across environments.  This involves a detailed School/preschool/early year setting visit or home visit as well as any liaison with relevant professionals.  I will review progress and any new concerns before updating strategies and advice to support progression.

Cost Starting From €275

The Just Right State Programme

The Just Right State Programme, devised by Éadaoin Bhreathnach, can help support both children and parents who are finding everyday life stressful due difficulties with change in routine, transitions and adjusting to sensory stimuli.

Children’s Programme

The Just Right State Children’s Programme which is delivered over 6 sessions and looks at the use of sensory activities and foods, to help children learn how to self-regulate their emotional states and behaviour. The programme uses cartoon characters called ‘The Scared Gang’ to represent the different survival patterns of behaviour. The di­fferent characters help children understand how each ‘scared’ character may react to di­fferent situations and shows children what each of the characters does to achieve their own ‘Just-Right’ state. The goal of the programme is to give children simple tools to enable them to self-regulate and achieve the just right state, whether it is to engage in academic learning, interacting with their peers, or to be able to get a good night’s sleep.

Parent’s Programme

The Just Right State Parents’ Programme is delivered over 6 sessions and aims to enable parents to provide an enriched environment within the home that facilitates the core components of successful parent child engagement – the capacity to self-regulate and to mutually regulate.

Tax Relief Information

Tax Relief for Medical Expenses with Revenue Commissioners: You may be able to claim tax relief on 20% of the expenses incurred for Occupational Therapy services by submitting a Form MED1 which can be downloaded here or through the Revenue Online Service (ROS).

Occupational Therapy services are covered by most health insurers with many now offering very generous OT benefits. For example, VHI PMI 25 11 covers 75% of OT fees (unlimited appointments). Many insurers offer policies for children-only (i.e. adults in the family do not need to have the same policy). You should contact your insurance provider/check your policy document to clarify what your plan covers. In addition, you may be able to claim tax relief on certain unclaimed medical expenses by submitting a Form MED1 which can be downloaded from www.revenue.ie.
