Occupational Therapy

Our Hesse Occupational Therapists (OTs) provide a service for people who are having difficulties with their daily activities. OTs work with their client to provide holistic interventions by assessing a person’s capabilities, the home environment, and the person’s interests.

Some examples of how an OT can work with clients:

• Assess safety and mobility around the home – to greatly reduce risk of falling.
• Assessments for home modifications (minor and major), this includes ramps and handrails etc.
• To assist with your mobility within the community, mobility scooter.
• Prescription of equipment aids for easy living and independence.

Eligibility

All ages are eligible. Clients can self-refer or be referred by your GP/Community Services Provider.
