About the team
We are a team of specialist occupational therapists who have a sound knowledge of neurological impairments and their effect on function.
We assess each client’s physical, emotional, cognitive and functional ability.
We also consider the client’s personal situation, environmental factors, and their goals and aspirations in formulating a treatment plan with them.
What happens during the appointment?
We will usually see the client for the first time in their own home for an initial assessment.
We will observe the clients ability in a variety of tasks and discuss with them what they would like to achieve.
We will then agree a plan with the client for a programme of activity.
We will carry out the plan in the most appropriate place for the client; this could be their home, a community location, college or work place.
