Occupational Therapy
Occupational therapists (OTs) play a pivotal role in improving the lives of our clients by providing specialized support that enhances their independence, functional abilities, and overall well-being. Whether it's through adaptive equipment, skill development, or therapeutic interventions, our OTs are dedicated to helping you achieve your goals.
Key ways Occupational Therapists assist clients:
Assessment and Goal Setting: OTs conduct thorough assessments and functional assessment reports to NDIS & iCare to understand clients' needs, challenges, and goals, leading to the development of personalized plans.
Functional Intervention: They provide interventions that focus on improving clients' daily living skills, mobility, and independence.
Equipment Recommendations: OTs recommend and provide guidance on adaptive equipment and assistive technology to support clients in their daily activities.
Therapeutic Techniques: They utilize various therapeutic techniques, such as sensory integration, cognitive rehabilitation, and hand therapy, to address clients' specific needs.
Examples
