Naturally Occupational Therapy.

Specialist Sensory & Developmental Support for Children in Devon.

Many children find the world a confusing or overwhelming place. Whether it’s struggling to get dressed, learning to ride a bike, feeling 'out of sync' at school, or becoming overwhelmed by sounds and textures, these challenges are often rooted in how a child processes the world around them…

The bathroom has a white sink with silver faucets, a large mirror with a wooden frame, and some green plants. There is a heart-shaped wall hanging above the sink.

Our Approach: Bridging the Gap in Support

1. We Understand: The 'Why' Behind the Struggle

At Naturally Occupational Therapy we look beneath the surface to find out why your child is struggling. Using Ayres Sensory Integration and clinical expertise, we assess not just the senses, but also Motor Coordination and Praxis (how the brain plans and carries out movements).

We know how frustrating it is to be told your child doesn't "meet the threshold" for support, or to be stuck on a lengthy waiting list while your child struggles today. We bridge that gap by providing the comprehensive, timely assessment and clarity you’ve been looking for.

2. We Regulate: Building a Calm Foundation

We provide gentle, child-led sessions designed to help the nervous system feel calm, safe, and organized. By focusing on regulation first, we create the right conditions for your child to develop their physical skills. We support them through the frustration of motor challenges, helping them find new, successful ways to move and interact with their world.

3. We Empower: Success in Everyday Life

We don’t just work with your child in isolation; we empower the team around them. We give you, your family, and your child’s teachers the practical tools and "sensory-informed" strategies needed to make everyday activities - from the classroom to the kitchen table - feel successful and meaningful again.

    … and the thoroughness of the evalutaion and report, so much so that my SENDIASS case worker has asked for your details for other families as she even said how good the report and information that you supplied was. Both M**** and myself felt very at ease with you and felt that you really listened to what we were saying and the communication prior and after the assessment was excellent.’’
