OT is particularly important for those living with disabilities, who may need help with:
If you are an individual living with a disability and require help with assistive technology, modifications around your home, improved daily living or capacity building, our occupational therapist can help you.
After your initial assessment with our OT, we will coordinate with you, our multidisciplinary team and your carer to assist in developing a treatment plan and strategy that is best suited to your needs.
Occupational therapists use a variety of industry-recognised tests to assess their patients. For example, they may use an Assessment of Motor and Process Skills (AMPS) test to assess your motor and processing skills. From there, your OT can form an idea of how youโre likely to manage with everyday tasks around your home and make recommendations for maintaining your independence.
On some occasions, your occupational therapists will work alongside other allied health professionals to assess you. This may mean looking at assessments that your physiotherapist or psychologist has made. By doing this, they can gain a comprehensive picture of the support youโre receiving, what youโre able to do, and your prognosis. Working alongside other allied health professionals also gives them the chance to see your progress and make changes accordingly in a collaborative team approach. After performing your assessment, your occupational therapist may make recommendations for tools and adaptations. For example, if youโre struggling to access your home, they may recommend the use of a ramp or rails. They can also assess your suitability for various mobility aids thatโll allow you to maintain your independence. Wherever necessary, your occupational therapy team can discuss your plans with your family and others who are caring for you too.
