Frequently Asked Questions

Questions & Answers

Locus is a self-guided parent support app that helps families explore developmental concerns, understand possible support needs, and access practical next steps at home. Built by occupational therapists for parents of children aged 6–16 struggling with motor skills, sensory processing, attention, emotional regulation, or behaviour.
Progress is tracked through re-screening. Parents log in and rescreen their child after completing a programme phase. This shows how the child has developed over time. Therapy is a gradual process — meaningful progress in child development takes months, not days or weeks. Our re-screening approach reflects that clinical reality.
The three self-guided phases are:
  • Basic (Months 1–3, €30): Initial strategies and activities for identified areas of concern.
  • Intermediate (Months 4–6, €50): Graded activities that build on and advance the skills from the Basic phase.
  • Advanced (Months 7–12, €100): A comprehensive programme focused on consolidating and generalising skills across home and school environments.
Each phase is a one-time payment for a self-guided programme.
All Locus Therapy programmes are self-guided — they do not include individual one-to-one therapy or personal OT consultations. If you have a technical issue with the app (such as a login problem) or a general query about how the app works, you can reach us via our WhatsApp Business number. For clinical concerns about your child, we recommend consulting a qualified healthcare professional.
Yes! Locus complements professional therapy — it does not replace it. Many families use Locus to practise OT-informed activities at home between appointments, and to track progress to share with their therapist.
No. Locus is NOT a diagnostic tool and does not replace professional assessment or therapy. It is designed to help parents understand their child's challenges, take informed early action at home, and support their child while on HSE waitlists. Always follow recommendations from your child's doctor, therapist, or other qualified professionals.
Yes. We comply fully with GDPR standards. Your child's information is encrypted and never shared with third parties. See our Privacy Policy for full details.
