Alison established Midlands Occupational Therapy Services Ltd over 10 years ago, largely in order to develop further specialized skills in sensory integration and fulfill a need that seemed to be very much in demand. Midlands OT is now a small company with several associate therapists that provides specialist occupational therapy services for children and young adults with a range of conditions including autistic spectrum disorders, dyspraxia, developmental delay, sensory processing disorders, cerebral palsy and acquired brain injury. Midlands OT therapists use a range of approaches to provide appropriate therapy to address each child’s exact difficulties and are able to offer a trauma informed approach where this is necessary. Assessment and therapy input are offered in an individualised way enabling therapists to meet each child and family’s specific needs with the aim of finding solutions to everyday problems that actually work and can be implemented at home or school. Midlands Occupational Therapy is also the leading provider of specialist occupational therapy services into special schools across the West Midlands.
Alison is an Advanced Practitioner in Sensory Integration; she was an accredited lecturer with Ulster University with several years’ experience of delivering clinical modules and mentoring for the Master’s degree in Sensory Integration Therapy for the Sensory Integration Network UK and Ireland and she still provides post graduate mentoring to other therapists on this subject . Alison has presented to regional and national audiences including the National Autistic Society and the OT Show and was a keynote speaker at the Sensory Integration Network’s annual conference in 2018. She offers training both face to face (when permitted) and online for parents, schools and other professionals on the subject of sensory processing disorders. Alison has co-authored a book on Sensory Movement Breaks published by the TTS group.
