Over a year ago, my son who has high functioning autism, ADHD and sensory issues began receiving weekly occupational therapy with Lovely Mel, to increase his core strength, balance, planning and organisation, as well as handwriting and use of cutlery. After about 9 months of input, my son’s improvements allowed fir him to finally be able to learn to ride a bike (at age 9), while his handwriting improved, together with his behaviour and confidence. We have received great advice on adapted cutlery and strategies to manage sensory issues. My son really enjoys the sessions with Mel. Thank you so much all of your invaluable support. We really appreciate all you have done for him!

Our son has been having OT sessions for the past year. Muzzi and Hannah are so approachable and respond to any questions we have quickly. We really appreciate our weekly emails detailing what our son does in his sessions. He enjoys his 45 minute OT sessions and has made lots of progress in skills he needs to help him cope with his day to day life as well as his academic life. These sessions have been fundamental in helping him with his independence.

Thank you so much for your mail and for everything you have done for T. She has loved your sessions and would have loved to carry on with them forever!! I will continue working on her pen grip at home.

First of all, I just wanted to say thank you so much for coming and taking the staff session last week – I have had so much positive feedback from all of the staff who have been busy changing the positions of certain children in class, buying jigsaw puzzles for the class, carrying out movement breaks and making other classroom adjustments, inspired by your session. One member of staff commented, ‘I wish Muzzi was working here all the time,’ and everyone appreciated the time you took to provide us with so much information about OT.

Muzzi has been beyond amazing with my little boy and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her. We have come a long way since our sessions started and I look forward to continuing working with her.

Both of my children have had occupational therapy with Muzzi. My daughter commenced sessions with Muzzi aged 8 and really enjoyed the sessions, making very rapid progress in the areas she was finding difficult. My son was referred at the age of 6 and has been seeing Muzzi’s colleague Zaza and was swiftly charmed into cooperation and he too is reaping the rewards. I cannot speak highly enough about engaging with Muzzi and her team. Right from the start, she was supportive and kind when I was frankly in shock that I was having to explore a SEN route for either child. She was available to speak to and provide advice whenever I needed her and I gained real comfort from the fact that she really understood my children, their quirks and what motivates them ensuring sessions were fun and something that the children looked forward to. It was invaluable to me that she was honest about the extent and nature of the challenges they were each facing and their progress. All in all, Muzzi and her team have made obtaining OT support for each of my children as painless as it could have been, even through lockdown, something I am extremely grateful for. If your child does need OT support, I would highly recommend both Muzzi and Zaza.
