Occupational Therapy - Lower North Shore
The primary goal of occupational therapy is to enable people to participate fully in the activities of their everyday life. It does this by using specific activities to enable people to do things that will enhance their ability to participate or by modifying the physical environment to better support participation.
Community occupational therapists help their clients and their carers cope with demands, adapt to tasks, and overcome challenges in their everyday lives. They do this by using a person's usual daily activities and tasks in a therapeutic way. Review activities of daily living which are required to stay at home independently and safely, for example: falls prevention assessment and intervention, review of home modifications e.g. grab rails, ramps; assessing equipment needs in the home e.g. shower chairs, wheelchairs, toilet aids, transfer aids. Specialist services include pressure area management. Interpreters are available if required.
