A PROJECT using video to support neurodiverse primary school children to self-regulate has received a prestigious occupational therapy award at this year’s Association of Occupational Therapists Ireland (AOTI) annual conference.
Dearbhla O’Reilly, senior occupational therapist with HSE West, covering Limerick and Tipperary, picked up the 2025 Eva Duggan Award for her initiative The Self-Regulation Video Project – a child-directed video resource to support self-regulation and empower children, families, and schools with wellbeing and participation in everyday life.
Dervla said “self-regulation is a child’s ability to recognise and manage their own energy, emotions, and behaviour so they can learn, play, and take part in daily life”.
