"Thank you ever so much for all your help. We really appreciate how helpful and caring you've been towards G and our family as a whole. Appreciate the link too and will have a good nose round now." - 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

" Very well run. Plenty of time spent teaching and showing."

"Good 2 day activity. With games which the young ones enjoyed. And the bike training really helped progress."

Parent feedback from the Movement Wise workshop

"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."
