Occupational Therapy

Core Supports

Occupational Therapy services

Occupational therapy (OT) is a key component in supporting people with disabilities. Occupation in this context refers to all the activities people need, want or are expected to do, including self-care, work, leisure and social interactions.

Occupational Therapy NDIS services identify challenges in daily living to create solutions that are tailored to each of our client’s. It is an essential step in the path to our participants achieving independence, improving their quality of life, and enhancing their ability to participate in daily activities despite physical, mental or cognitive challenges.

How can Occupational Therapy help someone with a disability?

Occupational therapy can significantly enhance the lives of those living with disabilities by helping them to develop, recover, or maintain the skills needed to live, learn and work as independently as possible.

Occupational therapists are healthcare professionals who are trained to thoroughly assess your ability, circumstances, and challenges. With this information they are able to present solutions, in the form of interventions and developing training strategies. These solutions are aimed to help you overcome barriers that restrict you from performing daily activities and help you achieve your goals.
