We've been receiving lots of questions about our children's Occupational Therapy services, so we thought we'd answer some of the most common ones in this post. 👇

At Maverick Therapies, we're qualified Occupational Therapists delivering evidence-informed OT through nature-based and horse-assisted approaches. The therapy is the same. The environment is different.
✨ No upfront assessment fee
✨ Assessment embedded into sessions
✨ Daytime and after school slots available
✨ Open throughout the summer holidays
✨ Individualised support for children and young people

Many families come to us after their child has struggled to engage in traditional environments, is on a waiting list for support, or simply needs an approach that feels more natural and meaningful.

If you're looking for Occupational Therapy support this summer, swipe through to learn more about our service. If you have any questions, we'd love to hear from you.

Do you know we are open throughout the summer holidays? ☀️ Are you looking for therapeutic support for your child over the summer holidays? Whether their usual support is paused during the break, they're unable to access the support they need during term time, or they would benefit from some additional support over the summer, our Occupational Therapy sessions can help maintain progress and work towards meaningful goals. 🐎🍃

At Maverick Therapies, we offer individual Occupational Therapy sessions throughout the summer holidays, tailored to your child's unique needs and interests.

All assessment is embedded within sessions, allowing us to gain a thorough understanding of your child's strengths and needs while providing meaningful therapeutic support from the outset.

📍 Based at our outdoor and horse-assisted therapy site in Goonhavern
🏡 Home and community-based sessions also available
✨ Very limited spaces available ✨

These sessions may be beneficial for children and young people who need support with:

• Sensory processing differences
• Confidence and self-esteem
• Emotional understanding and regulation
• Anxiety and mental health needs
• Developing independence and life skills
• Motor skills and coordination

To find out more or discuss whether these sessions would be suitable for your child, please get in touch

We have had a lovely few weeks of Occupational Therapy sessions! 🐎 🍃☀️

We've been busy taking part in a variety of activities with both children and adults at Maverick. Some of the activities we've been enjoying recently to support wellbeing, independence, skill development, and meaningful engagement include:

🍃 Quiet time with our horses – gentle time grooming, stroking, or simply being with these lovely horses, perfect for those living with dementia or other cognitive needs.

🍃 Making our own fruity drinks – a perfect activity for hot days to help keep hydrated, as well as being part of our interoception-focused sessions to develop body awareness, recognise body cues, develop life skills, and participate in something fun and meaningful.

🍃 Making huge bubbles with our Hoberman Sphere – supporting breath work, breathing control, mindfulness, oral motor skills, and self-regulation.

🍃 Horse care activities – including stroking, brushing, and spending time with our horses to support the development of life skills, movement, enjoyment, and wellbeing.

🍃 Harvesting, cooking, and eating fresh food from our garden – supporting gross motor skills, dynamic balance, shoulder stability, safety awareness, and the development of life skills around food preparation and eating. It also provides opportunities to explore foods in a natural and safe environment through touch, smell, and taste.

🍃 Planting sunflowers – a great activity to support fine motor skills, sensory exploration, life skill development, and engagement in a meaningful activity.

We love creating meaningful, enjoyable, and therapeutic experiences that support people of all ages to engage, learn, develop skills, and connect with the world around them. 💚🐴🌻

Inspired by In The Cottage Garden’s book Dopamine Gardening, we’ve created our own herbal tea garden within our therapy service 🌿☕

This project shows how occupational therapy can be woven into meaningful, sensory-rich activities that support wellbeing, regulation, and connection. From planting and nurturing the garden to exploring smell, taste, texture, and interoceptive awareness, every part of the process creates opportunities for engagement, routine, and therapeutic growth.

Our herbal tea garden will also help us make calming, natural teas and drinks, not only for ourselves, but for our horses to enjoy too 🐴 🌱
