School Visit - €400

Our in-person school visits bring an OT’s professional perspective directly into your setting.

We assess classrooms, equipment, and routines, making clinical observations to see how children engage with their environment.

These 90 minute visits feed into ongoing support, informing future consultations and tailored strategies, while also helping the therapist understand your school’s ethos and build strong, collaborative relationships with staff.

The most value is gained from this service when schools have already accessed an online consultation day or our education and training platform and have encountered barriers  to implementation that require in-person observation.

We also provide affordable Add-ons to your school visit which are listed below.

Safe Use & Equipment Audit

Many schools now have OT related equipment, but staff have been given no training on it's safe use. This includes peanut balls, oral motor tools, swings, resistive bands etc. During the OT Visit, they will review all OT related equipment and we will provide an interactive plan afterwards that staff can access.

Sustained OT Support

Staff can book online consultations with an OT when they need to. A tailored interactive plan is provided afterwards which includes practical strategies. These consultations can be used to discuss individual cases (where consent is in place) or group situations.

"This support is worth its weight in gold, we have worked with Gabadoo over the last number of years and the impact for staff and for children has been incredible. It's not an exaggeration to say it's enabled some classes and pupils to access learning they wouldn't have otherwise."

Trina Golden., Principal - OETNS

"We have been using Gabadoo for over a year now and find it an invaluable service. Jess has provided both staff and parents in our school with so much in the way of advice and strategies to enable us to better support our children. Her practical, reassuring approach is so useful on a day to day basis. The ability to ask advice from an OT when we have concerns about a child has made a huge difference to us."

Clodagh F., Principal - Stapolin ETNS

"This support has been fabulous for us, as we’ve never had anything like it before. Instead of trying to grab time with a visiting therapist, having a designated 45-minute session is incredibly valuable—every minute counts for our busy staff. They really appreciate the expertise and insights gained during that time."

Fiona., Principal - St. Brendans

"The expertise empowered all staff, helping us to adopt inclusive changes that truly benefit every child. Through the guidance, we learned how to be genuinely inclusive of all needs, creating a positive impact across the whole school community. The focus on regulation, an area outside the usual educational expertise we have in-house, provided solutions no one else could offer."

Helen., D. Principal - St. Marys on the Hill

"I can’t recommend Gabadoo enough. Their strengths-based approach really resonates with me, and the support has been a game changer for my son. The strategies are practical, easy to implement, and tailored to both home and school. I love that he’s learning tools for himself, like Brain Breaks and ways to manage frustration, which have had an immediate impact on his confidence and engagement.The process is so simple and accessible—even on my phone—and the response time is amazing. I feel supported, empowered, and reassured, knowing we can come back and refine strategies as needed. Gabadoo’s approach is truly collaborative, working with both parents and teachers to create consistent, effective support. It’s made such a positive difference for our family."

Joan., Parent

"I recently started using Gabadoo, to help support my daughter that has been diagnosed with sensory processing disorder, and I can’t recommend it enough."

Eileen., Parent
