Training and
Education Services
We understand that training is most powerful when it turns complex theories into simple, practical strategies that people can use every day.
At OT4me we believe that sharing knowledge is just as important as providing therapy. Our training and education programmes are designed to give parents, carers, schools, and professionals the tools they need to support children with confidence. From our office and training base in York, we run specialist workshops, webinars, and bespoke sessions in a welcoming, accessible environment where people can learn, reflect, and build practical skills.
We also deliver training in-house within organisations, tailoring content to the unique needs of each setting. This means schools, local authorities, charities, and workplaces can access expert guidance directly within their own teams, making the learning more relevant and easier to put into practice straight away. Whether at our York base or in your organisation, our aim is to equip people with strategies that make a real difference to children’s daily lives.
