The Disabled Children's Team work with children and their
families where a child has learning difficulties/disabilities
and/or a physical and/or sensory impairment. We also work
with children who have long-term, or life-threatening
illness. We can meet with you and your child to discuss what
support and help you need. We may work with you ourselves, or
we may organise other support. We provide details of services
and resources available to disabled children and their families,
and we provide information on childcare, play schemes, youth clubs
and other social activities.
Our Occupational Therapist assesses the needs of disabled
children, offering advice on how to improve their quality of life
as well as providing aids, adaptations and equipment, where
appropriate. Advice is also available on moving and handling
disabled children.
We offer a weekday duty service to disabled children living
in the Bath & North East Somerset area and also all children
admitted to the Royal United Hospital and also to the Head Injury
Unit at the Royal National Hospital for Rheumatic Diseases.
To contact us, please ring the duty officer between 8.30
and 5 Monday to Thursday or 8.30 and 4.30 on Fridays on 01225
825307; email Nora_Ryan@bathnes.gov.uk
or write to us at Bath & Wessex House, Royal United
Hospital, Combe Park, Bath, BA1 3NG.
