Seeking children in OT for research

5 NOVEMBER 2013

Children receiving occupational therapy are rarely asked to speak about their experiences with allied health professionals such as occupational therapists, but a Charles Sturt University (CSU) researcher is planning to change that. Ms Nadine Milgate, based at CSU in Wagga Wagga, is looking for stories of school children aged between seven and 10 years who currently receive occupational therapy. “It is important to hear from children about their experiences of occupational therapy and how they make sense of the interventions,” said Ms Milgate, who is completing her PhD with the University’s School of Community Health in Albury-Wodonga. Ms Milgate would like to hear from parents and caregivers of children receiving occupational therapy who would like to take part in the research. The study involves Ms Milgate spending time with the child to ask questions about their experiences of occupational therapy. Parents and caregivers interested in including their child in this research should contact Ms Milgate on mobile 0409 501 154 or send an email.
