Routes4Life Provision Aims

The Routes4Life provision aims to meet the needs of Post 19 students who have special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). We provide support for young people to access one-year, outcomes focused, individualised study programmes appropriate to their needs so that they can make a purposeful transition into their adult lives. It is important that young people moving into adult life maximise their experiences and opportunities. A successful transition requires specialist, outcomes focused support to develop the links, relationships, support networks and experiences. This provision has been designed to create individualised learning for young people to transition into either employment, supported living or a community learning programme or a combination of these.

Core Purpose of Role

To provide high quality OT assessment and intervention for students with complex special educational needs, including Autism (ASD), Severe Learning Difficulties (SLD), and Social, Emotional, and Mental Health (SEMH) needs, aiming to maximise their independence in adulthood.

• EHCP Management: Write detailed reports for Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) reviews and set SMART targets related to functional life skills.
• Intervention Delivery: Implement 1:1 and group sessions focusing on self-regulation, fine/gross motor skills, and Activities of Daily Living (ADL) such as meal preparation or travel
• Environment Adaptation: Advise on and implement environmental modifications, including sensory rooms and specialised equipment (seating, weighted aids).
• Collaborative Working: Work within a Multi-Disciplinary Team (MDT) including Speech and Language Therapists (SaLT), Physiotherapists, and specialist teaching staff.
