As Experts at Hand begins to reshape specialist support in schools, are we simply making existing interventions more accessible, or recognising an opportunity to demonstrate the full breadth of occupational therapy?

 

Our profession brings far more than sensory circuits, environmental audits and wobble cushions. Our foundations in occupation, participation, routines and environments position us to influence the everyday conditions that shape children's experiences of school.

 

Drawing on real-world experience, practical examples and audience participation, this thought-provoking session invites occupational therapists to challenge how our contribution is defined, reconnect with our professional foundations and consider how we can help shape Experts at Hand from the outset.
