    Abstract

    The aim of paediatric occupational therapy and physiotherapy is to minimise the impact of impairments on the child and to enhance the overall quality of life for the child and the family. In this article a physiotherapist and an occupational therapist outline the settings for therapy, including schools, the assessment of child and family and the goals and process of treatment. They also outline the particular role of each therapy.
