FAQs

What is disability occupational therapy?

Disability occupational therapy helps individuals of all ages with disabilities improve their ability to perform everyday tasks. This therapy involves working with a qualified occupational therapist who evaluates the patient’s specific needs and challenges. The therapist then develops personalised strategies and interventions, such as modifying tasks, adapting the environment, or using assistive technology. The goal is to enhance independence, improve daily living skills, and increase participation in meaningful activities, ultimately improving the overall quality of life for individuals with disabilities.
