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
