Independent Living Solutions - Occupational Therapy
Occupational Therapists take care of
the things that really matter.
The aim is always the same: to restore the client, whenever possible, to the lifestyle that they would have enjoyed, had they not suffered a trauma. When that is not possible we aim to help them readjust and maximise their residual abilities.
To achieve that, our work includes:
Assessing the current level of function and occupational performance. Lifestyle planning.
Planning and implementing packages of therapy and care to maximise our clients’ abilities and opportunities.
Understanding the importance of correct positioning, to maximise function and increase access to ordinary daily experiences.
Adapting and modifying the environment to increase independence.
Working with architects and builders to ensure that our client’s particular individual housing needs are met.
Teaching independent living skills including personal care, domestic and financial management.
Working with our clients to develop compensatory strategies for organisational and planning problems.
Assessing and identifying specialist equipment needs, arranging for adaptation and customisation as required.
Giving advice regarding vehicle adaptations.
Advising on specialist seating and wheelchair seating whether for home, work or recreation.
Understanding the component parts of an individual’s needs.
Understanding the unique needs of every individual.
And we are cost-effective. Our range of skills can actually reduce the number of professionals required for each client.
