Occupational Therapy Services for Increased Daily Independence
What is Occupational Therapy?
Occupational Therapists support people with a disability to increase their independence with everyday activities.
This could involve working with you to learn new ways to do things or getting out and about. We could also prescribe assistive technology such as wheelchairs or home modifications to aid with access and safety in your home.
