"I must take the time to personally thank you, B didn't typically tick a box but you still took on board my concerns, validated them and made me feel understood. You could have dismissed all of this due to him scoring high on the assessment but you didn't, you looked at him holistically, took time to make extra visits to him in school and referred to paediatrics for a second opinion and because of this he will now get the support he deserves instead of just 'coping' and 'adapting' on his own and for that I will forever be grateful to you, from the bottom of my heart - thank you." - Parent

"I have been meaning to send you a thank you card or at least an email. May I thank you for all your help and support for A. A has become so much confident in doing some tasks that we could never think he will. He is so much better at tasks now than he used to be."- Parent
A’s Mum asked me to thank you, A was incredibly nervous before treatment but has gone home after sessions and shown her Mum what she has been doing and said ‘I didn’t need to worry, Liz is really nice’, Mum says she is really happy with what she has achieved as well.
D’s Mum has asked me to thank you both for your work with D. She says he comes home after sessions saying how much he loves them, wanting to try new things and that she can see a difference in his skills and his confidence.
“Just to update you: My son E has been able to push off on his bike and ride totally unaided today. The look of pure joy on his face was priceless. Thank you so much for this course. I managed to get a video of him too. We are so appreciative. He really has gained so much confidence.” - Parent

"Just to say thank you for all of your time today and last week. We feel very fortunate to have had two home visits and for you to spend dedicated time getting to know T. It really means a lot to us as we know it will help ensure he has the right support and necessary guidance going forward. And the fact T (and J) loved spending time with you was also a huge bonus. Thanks again." - Parent
"Thanks so much for the very thorough assessment! L has lots of lovely friends at school and enjoys going... but often says how tired school makes him. Hopefully the fatigue will reduce with all the help you have put in place and as he grows and gets stronger. Thanks again, you and the OT team all do a brilliant job!"- Parent
Parent feedback from the Bike Group sessions
"Thank you so much. I've been meaning to email you to say a huge thank you to you and your team for what you do. H absolutely LOVED it and has been on his bike everyday since the course. His confidence and ability grows with every ride but couldn't have done it without you guys so thank you."

"I just wanted to let you have some long term outcome feedback from bike group you put on ages ago. N (DCD) learned to ride with you. I have just picked him back up and guess what – his favourite occupation is bike riding! He and his dad regularly go for 2 hour bike rides along the canal. It is a source of great pleasure to them both and helps with father son time a lot.
I thought you would love to know what a difference you have made to this boy! He is off to high school next year, so a big boy now!
Well done for doing this magical and important activity with our kiddies!"
Parent feedback from the Movement Wise workshop
"I am the parent of M who was accepted on the Movement Wise Pathway.
I have completed the autism and also the general motor difficulties workshops and I have found them both really informative and helpful and I will be applying the advice from the workshops to help M move forward with his development. Thank you so much for your advice."
"A lot of what was covered I had learnt about before but its easy to get into other routines and then forget things, it has been a really good reminder and has made me think about some things we struggle with. The video I'm hopeful will help us with the toileting and knife and fork skills. Really good to know we can chat to you if we still struggle. Thanks."
"It was really informative and will try the recommendations."
"It’s been a relief listening to all of this today, thank you. Sometimes you feel like it’s just us."
"Thank you - I have watched the OT Playwise workshop today and found it very interesting. I will share this with the lady that I job share with and other staff. Thank you." - Teaching Assistant
