Who is Lynda Niles?
My name is Lynda and I am an Occupational Therapist, that
means I try and help people who have
difficulties doing ordinary things in
everyday life, using fun activities and games.

 | Why I might be able to help you?
I am good at working out puzzles – working out why some children find some tasks at home
like dressing and washing or tasks at school like writing or joining in PE or speaking out in
class may be really difficult.
|  |
But I don’t just work out why, I also help you and your parents and teachers work out how to
make some of the challenges easier for you to manage and how you can do things that you
enjoy doing much more.

 |  | What might I do?
- I may ask you lots of questions
- I may get you to move about and to do some exercises
- I may get you to write or draw something
- I may ask you to show me what you are really good at and feel proud about
- I may ask you all about the things you like doing at home or at school or out and about
- I may take a video to help me remember all that you say and do (but only if you and your
parents have said its OK)
- I may suggest that there are activities and games that may help you grow and develop more
skills and abilities

What do you do if you have lots of questions?
Talk through with your parents or your carers about seeing Lynda,
but if you still have questions you can ask me when we meet up.
