An Occupational Therapist (OT) and OT support workers help people of all ages overcome challenges completing everyday tasks or activities. These are what we call ‘occupations’.
Occupational therapists see beyond a person’s diagnosis and limitations. They look at relationships between the activities you do every day – your “occupations” – alongside the challenges you face and your environment.
Support to regain independence can help open up new opportunities and increase your sense of wellbeing.
