Helping you overcome mental and physical barriers
When should I see an Occupational Therapist?
If you need to develop motor skills, social skills or managing emotional regulation an Occupational Therapist is here to help. Also, if you need to build a return to work plan, avoid falls or recover after a stroke to support independent living, an Occupational Therapist can put together a plan. Occupational Therapists also define assistive technology needs to align with rehabilitation.
