OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY

Occupational Therapy helps people of all ages participate in the activities (or "occupations") that are meaningful to them.

Occupational Therapists work with individuals who are experiencing physical, cognitive, or developmental challenges to develop, recover, or maintain the skills needed for daily living and working.

Through personalised assessment and intervention, Occupational Therapists help clients overcome barriers and adapt to limitations, enabling them to engage more fully in essential tasks, from self-care routines and work responsibilities to leisure activities and social participation.
