Occupational Therapy Service

Occupational Therapy involves assessing a person’s ability to carry out the usual everyday demands of life in the areas of self care, work and leisure:

• The aim is, where possible, to regain the physical and social skills necessary to perform activities as they were previously performed. 
• Where this is not possible, the aim is to help you acquire alternative methods of carrying out as many of the activities as possible. 
• This may involve the use of special equipment and assistive technology to achieve independence.
• We have access to Connexions and employment advisors who can help  you to identify interests, strengths and weaknesses, and to make realistic work choices
