Private Paediatric Occupational Therapy Clinic in Norwich - Excel Child is a Private Clinic set up in 2011 to help a growing number of children with multiple diagnoses such as ADHD, Pathological Avoidance Syndrome, Tourette’s, Autism, Dyspraxia and general Sensory Processing problems. These children often fail the curriculum, have poor sleep patterns, frequent crying for no apparent reason, clumsy, extremely fussy with wearing clothes, washing, hair brushing, eating, do not have any friends and experience either violent, disruptive or defiant behaviours. Parents experience frustration, can be at a loss to know how to respond to their child who reacts negatively to most situations and are often very isolated. Mary knew that she could help these children and after 18 years in the NHS, moved on and started a private assessment and intervention clinic. Founder: Mary Hamilton - Mary graduated in 1993 from Coventry University with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Occupational Therapy. Junior Rotation included neurology, elderly, rehabilitation, orthopaedics and Head Injuries. She held a senior post in Peterborough, Child and Adolescent Psychiatry for four years. In 1999 she completed a Master of Science in Paediatrics from the University of East London. Mary then worked in Norwich NHS in Paediatrics for 12 years, specialised in Sensory Integration and became an Advanced Practitioner in 2014 from the University of Ulster.
