Benefits of using our service can include the following:
“I would highly recommend SensoryOT4me, upon speaking to Louise she advised that the whole process for assessing my son would not be relevant to him so Louise provided me with advise and coping strategies for us both really. Louise also helped me to get a better understanding of how my son is feeling with the sensory issues he has which made a lot of sense. I felt at ease speaking with Louise and would not hesitate in recommending her to anyone who is looking for an OT.”
FROM A HAPPY PARENT
“Fantastic service. All communication has been professional throughout and calls, emails, messages have all been responded to in a timely manner. Louise has a relaxed and friendly approach which makes building a rapport quicker and easier for both my child and myself, but she still kept everything professional. The report looks professional, is easy to read and understand which is very helpful. I have been very satisfied with the whole service and would definitely use again and recommend to others.”

A RECENT PARENT WHO’S SON HAD AN SENSORY INTEGRATION ASSESSMENT
“Thank you so much to Louise Holdsworth, from OT4me, for delivering a highly informative lecture on Sensory Integration Therapy to our BA(Hons) Interior Architecture and Design students. This will kick start the students’ Autism-friendly adult accommodation design project, providing a wealth of knowledge about autism and sensory sensitivities.”
JOAN LOVE, SENIOR LECTURER & LEVEL 4 CO-ORDINATOR (0.6 POST) BA(HONS) INTERIOR ARCHITECTURE & DESIGN
“The interoception curriculum has been very useful for my son. He is already starting to be more conscious of recognising internal signals which, with reinforcement, will hopefully only improve. The sessions were fun and informal which helped to get buy-in from my son. We’re hopeful that the sensory diet that Louise is putting together will also help with regulation of energy levels at home and at school.”

PARENT, KS
“Thank you for the report, it was really interesting to read through the progress he has made and it is something that we also observed too. I cannot thank you enough, the difference it has made is astounding! I keep telling everyone at work and in the OT meetings how amazing the SI therapy has been! Its incredible how the activities, which from the outside just look like small play activities, can have such a dramatic impact on how the brain functions, it’s incredible.”

“Thank you! Your input has made a great difference across our curriculum offer”
DISABILITY ACTION YORKSHIRE
“I am writing to express my thanks for all the work you have done with both pupils and staff here at St Hughs since the summer. Throughout the whole process you have been a joy to work with – from answering emails promptly to being endlessly flexible with therapy dates, timings and even venues! You have also put up with endless questions from a nosy SENCO and opened my eyes to a number of different resources and research. The pupils have absolutely loved your therapy sessions, with both boys literally skipping to each one. The rapport you have built with the pupils, staff and parents has been second to none and helped these boys make good progress. Attendance at review meetings has also cemented these relationships. The training sessions you have delivered have been personable and relevant and prompted many a discussion in the staff room afterwards. I am excited about our journey to integrate the interoception curriculum and will keep you up to date with our progress.”
KATE WAITE
