What Is Occupational Therapy

Occupational therapy helps you live your best life at home, and or in the community.

It’s about being able to do the things you want and have to do. That could mean helping you overcome challenges learning at school, going to work, playing sport or completing everyday tasks and or activities. Everything is focused on increasing independence and wellbeing.

What we call ‘occupations.

Occupational therapists see beyond diagnoses and limitations to hopes and aspirations. We look at relationships between the activities you do every day – your occupations – alongside the challenges you face and your environment.

Then, we create a plan of goals and adjustments targeted at achieving a specific set of activities. The plan is practical, realistic and personal to you as an individual, to help you achieve the breakthroughs you need to elevate your everyday life.

This support can give people a renewed sense of purpose. It can also open up new opportunities and change the way people feel about the future.
