Occupational Therapy Services
Our Occupational Therapy services empower individuals of all ages to participate in activities that bring meaning and purpose to their lives. Occupational Therapists (OTs) are here to support people in achieving greater independence and enhancing their overall quality of life.
Working alongside you, our Occupational Therapists help identify the enablers and barriers that impact your ability to engage in daily activities. The term ‘occupation’ refers to tasks that are essential to everyday life, which may be limited due to a disability, delay, illness, or injury. These daily activities can include:
- Self-care – Supporting independence in personal hygiene, dressing, and grooming.
- Social skills and play – Helping children and adults develop meaningful social interactions.
- Emotional regulation – Assisting with managing emotions effectively in various situations.
- Sensory processing – Understanding and responding to sensory information from the environment.
- Fine and gross motor skills – Improving skills for better coordination and physical ability.
- Cognitive skills – Enhancing skills related to thinking, problem-solving, and memory.
Through a combination of therapy to develop skills, activity or environmental adaptations, and assistive technology, our OTs support individuals in reaching their full potential. Participating in meaningful occupations is a key part of achieving optimal health and wellbeing.
