Frequently Asked Questions
What does an occupational therapist do?
Occupational therapists enable individuals to engage more fully in daily activities by providing support that enhances their ability to live independently and safely. They adapt interventions to meet each person's specific needs. For example, an OT might work with a child who has Down syndrome to develop fine motor skills and social interaction abilities, through activities that promote independence and social participation.
How does online occupational therapy work through teletherapy?
Online occupational therapy involves virtual sessions where therapists use video calls to observe, guide, and assess patients as they perform tasks and exercises. These sessions allow therapists to provide personalised advice on adapting the home environment, using assistive devices, and engaging in activities that promote functional independence.
Is Occupational Therapy covered by NDIS?
Occupational therapy services are typically covered under NDIS. We can guide you through the process to access our support as part of your plan.
How can occupational therapy improve quality of life?
Occupational therapy improves quality of life by enhancing your ability to perform everyday tasks, increasing your independence, and boosting your overall sense of accomplishment. Our therapists work to identify and address any barriers that may be hindering your ability to function optimally in your home, workplace, or social environments.
What assessment does an OT provide?
Our occupational therapists conduct comprehensive assessments to fully understand your needs. Based on these insights, they develop a personalised care plan aimed at achieving your specific goals and enhancing your day-to-day functionality.
