How Occupational Therapists can help people with disability
How Occupational Therapists can help
Having a sense of independence, choice and control over how we live allows us to have a fulfilled and meaningful life. Occupational therapy is for all ages and is goal-based. Occupational therapists work to understand your needs and support you to become more independent so you can increase your participation in everyday life.
Occupational therapists can support you by assessing your needs and recommending the appropriate assistive technology. This could be basic, low-risk items like shower chairs or pencil grips, or more complex equipment, like wheelchairs or hoists. OT’s will provide you with the supporting documentation and advice needed to get these items funded.
They also play a role in home modifications, like implementing ramps or handrails.
An occupational therapist can support you to:
- Build your capacity and increase your independence in everyday tasks like showering, dressing and eating
- Confidently handle ‘life admin’ activities like budgeting and managing household responsibilities
- Work on your relationships and social skills
- Develop strategies for over-stimulating environments or situations
- Build skills in processing and regulating your emotions
- Work on your educational and learning goals
- Introduce helpful assistive technology into your life by providing recommendations, training and supporting documentation
